Are you ready for the nature experience of long-distance hiking?
Long-distance hiking gives you the opportunity to experience nature intensively. You cross remote areas, far away from heavily frequented tourist attractions. This allows for a unique connection with nature and offers the chance to discover wild animals, rare plants and breathtaking landscapes.

Fitness and stamina required
With a little physical and mental stamina, you too can do it. You often cover long distances per day, carrying all the necessary provisions, water and equipment in your backpack. It is a sporting challenge that can be done with stamina and determination.

Mindful and decelerated on the trail
Long-distance hiking allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and concentrate on the essentials. Slowing down, reflecting and switching off will then happen all by themselves and you will perceive nature in a completely different way. Once you have found your own rhythm, an inner peace sets in.

Fresh water provided: "refill your bottle".
Everyone who has ever done a summer mountain hike knows how important it is to have enough liquid with you. "Südtirol Refill Alto Adige" is a free community project of the organisation for nature and environmental protection in South Tyrol to collect and register free drinking water sources. After several "Refill" projects that have already been started all over Europe, the project has been launched in South Tyrol in 2020. In the holiday region of Hafling-Vöran-Meran 2000, too, numerous freely accessible wells have been registered.
