Springtime in the Venosta Valley
From March to June 2025
Sights and sounds of Nature reawakening with the crackling and popping of melting snow as the mountain summits shed their white mantle and fertile valleys are clad in bright new colours. The richness of the cultural landscape of the Stelvio National Park is revealed in the warm spring sunshine as it bathes the ancient stone walls of majestic castles, monasteries, and churches. Days begin to grow longer as folk spend more time outdoors, attracted by the hustle and bustle of spring fairs and music events held in the old village squares. Newly groomed trails cutting through the forested slopes pave the way for bracing spring hikes and exhilarating mountain bike rides. The sea of white and pink apple orchards in bloom signals that Nature has returned to the Venosta Valley. It’s time to join the spring celebrations!
V
