Latest Vipiteno hotel reviews
rmicallef Says: 45minutes away from Vipiteno, we have Jenesien, a small town, right above the city of Bolzano.Jenesien is famous for the blonde horses and for riding. We paid about €18 pp for an hour horse riding in the woods. Not to miss
Hochfeiler - for very skilled hikers
Anjutka Says: It is not too often possible in the Alps to climb an over 3500 m high peak without any specific glacier equipment (but with perfect mountain equipment anyway, of course). Park the car at the 3rd hairpin turn of the road and follow the signs "Hochfeilerhuette" which is...
Nemesy Says:
rmicallef Says: For €8, you could rent a bike or mountain bike for half a day. Vipiteno and the surroundings are ideal of a bike ride. When we were there, last June, we hired a bike and rode to Racines. Very easy, just follow the river. Worth the ride :)Unfortunately I don't have the...
Fabrizio_M. Says: Vipiteno (Sterzig is original name) it's very beautiful town and there are some thing to see
Fabrizio_M. Says: Wonderful landscape around the town
pupina Says: We visited Vipiteno on Easter Sunday and we just walked around. It was magical with all the sweet shops displaying Easter eggs.
Pretzhof: everything home made
PALLINA Says: Great address to find local food, home grown cattle, nice location and accurate service. To book in advance, because it's very popular for family meeting. Local products availabre in the shop.
Schaurhof: Perfect Alpine and Mediterranean Combination
Anjutka Says: You probably would never find it or think to try it if you have no info beforehand. The Schaurhof is perfectly hidden and off the beaten path. When you are driving on the road (not the Autostrada!) from Sterzing to the Brenner Pass you see a few km north of Sterzing (before...
Restaurant in the Pfitscherjochhaus: Food and drink OK
Anjutka Says: If you feel that you need warm food, a beer from the tap or a Cappucino - the self- service reataurant of the Pfitscherjochhaus has all that and more, a mix of popular Italian and Austrian dishes as Lasagne, Wiener Schnitzel and Apfelstrudel (the latter highly...
Blueberries on the lower part of the hike
Anjutka Says: On the lower part of the hike you can find blueberries. The fact that you find plenty of them just two meters from the path is a good indicator that this hike is a little "off the beaten path"
From Innsbruck to Vipiteno and back
hdv63 Says: Instead of the expensive Brenner Pass (motorway A13 in Austria and A22 in Italy) you can travel from Innsbruck to Vipiteno and back along higway B182 (Steinach - Gries) in Austria and highway 12 in Italy. It's a very relaxed road in a beautiful landscape and you pay no toll.
Anjutka Says: The area is best reached by car. From Sterzing/Vipiteno follow the signs "Pfitschertal/val Vizze" and follow the road until to the place from where on it is closed. The road leads in principle up to the Pfitscher Joch Tthe Italians built under the Fascist time many quite...
Lidl: Cheaper for self catering
rmicallef Says: To be found as soon as you enter Vipiteno Centre. Ample parking and excellent choice. Since we were staying in a self catering apartment, we used to visit Lidl quite a lot. Excellent prices such as 3 pizza Margerita at approx €2 and 2lt water at approx €0.17 per bottle.
General advice for all hiking in Alpine regions
Anjutka Says: We had - as you see from the pictures - the best thinkable weather and therfore it was just pleasant and nothing else. But do not forget that you are in a region which only a short period of the year allows to stroll round there a we did. weather changes can be extremely...
rmicallef Says: In our 6 days in Vipiteno areas last June, weather varied quite a lot. We had days of continuas drizzle (wear Jeans, shirt, a light raincoat or keep an umbrella )and days of sun, where we also wore shorts.However, we always kept a light jacket handy for high altitudes,...
rmicallef Says: 15km away from Avenes.2200m above sealevelSnow nearly all year roundCould be reached by car......heaven on earth
Anjutka Says: It was interesting for me (I studied also Norwegian language and literature and Norway is one of my favourite countries) to find in the village Gossensass (a few km above Sterzing on the road to the Brenner pass) this sign and at a house at this square a memorial plate....
Pfitscher Joch can also be reached by bicycle
Anjutka Says: The usual way to move around here is to hike but of course the Pfitscher Joch can be reached also by bicycle, the road is only closed for cars and motorbikes..

Pfitscher Joch - a pleasant hike
The name (Sterzing/Vipiteno) of the location might be somewhat misleading because all the hike was about 30 - 35 km away and 1500 m above this place but I could not find any other suitable place in......

Still in Italy but feeling like in Austria
I went to Vipiteno (Sterzig) in 1991 during a school trip and I found it really lovely; I came back in June 2011 and I found it simply fantastic. So near to Austrian border, so full of...

First Town South of the Brenner Pass
Vipiteno or Sterzing is a nice market town in the North of Italy, very close to the Austrian border and the famous Brenner Pass. People here in Alto Adige/South Tyrol predominantly speak German, but...
