The Valle Aurina cycle path is a panoramic route that winds along the valley of the same name. In about 30 kilometers, the itinerary connects the village of Casere to San Giovanni, passing through mountain landscapes, dense forests and small characteristic villages. During the route, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the peaks of the Aurine Alps and the Aurino river that flows alongside the route. The cycle path is ideal for families and for those looking for an excursion dedicated to nature and tranquility. The valley is also full of points of interest, such as churches and traditional mountain huts, which invite you to take a break and immerse yourself in the local culture.

Sand in Taufers village center

Highlight • Settlement

The castle is the town's eye-catcher, but Sand in Taufers also has a lot to offer. In the nature park house you can find information about the mountains and their inhabitants. There are museums about sheep's wool and minerals. And in summer there are lots of culinary activities such as the Tauferer street kitchen and the cheese festival.

View of Taufers Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

From down here you have a beautiful view of Taufers Castle. If you don't mind a little detour and a few steep, rocky steps, you can also take a tour for little money. The castle was built on a rock in the 13th century and separates the Tauferer Valley from the Ahrntal Valley.

October 3, 2024,Von Gais zu den Reinbach Wasserfällen bis nach St. Johann im Ahrntal, noch ein Stück hinter und natürlich hoch und wieder zurück.

It's a nice tour, but the weather wasn't so great today. As reported, there was light rain in the afternoon, but with rain gear it wasn't a problem.
