at the TONZHAUS hiking hotel in the Venosta Valley, South Tyrol
“Looking good there, with your hat and poles!”
But what else do you need, apart from wearing the right clothing and a whistling a jaunty tune, in order to have the best hike ever? Of course! A rucksack with all the equipment in it. Sturdy shoes. This is what our professional hikers, Patrizia and Andreas, would recommend. Anything else? Of course! Landscape which is brimming with diversity and wildness. A valley that promises adventure and which is just waiting to be explored. Trails along the riverbank and tracks through the forest, routes for established climbers and those hungry for altitude. We have everything! Where? Right on our doorstep in the TONZHAUS hiking hotel in the Venosta and Senales Valleys.

Interesting facts from nature’s herb garden:
Our certified herbal expert, Patrizia, transports you into another world, a world of Senales flowers and herbs. There is always something to discover at the side of the trail and, of course, there’s also an exciting story behind it. Many inconspicuous plants have healing powers which have long been forgotten. Let Patrizia take you on an interesting journey into the world of herbs, or just bask in the beauty of the countryside. Flowers always work, even if it is only to combat boredom!

Continuing on trail number 7, you’ll come to the Raffeinhof and the Tisenhof before, ultimately, reaching the last stretch of tarmacked road down to Lago di Vernago.
