Schenna in bloom

While the mountain peaks are still dusted with snow, the valleys below are already bursting with a sea of colors and scents. This magical time of year draws nature lovers, food enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers alike into the open air. Whether you prefer scenic hikes through blooming valleys, relaxing e-bike tours, leisurely walks along the babbling Waalwege irrigation channel trails, or a cable car ride up into the heights – spring in Schenna offers countless ways to unwind and reconnect with nature. 

Another special highlight are the Schenna E-Bike weeks from May 17 to 31: active experiences on two wheels are combined with culinary discoveries. Guided bike tours, delicious refreshment stops and special taste experiences turn these weeks into a celebration for everyone who loves both physical activity and fine food.
