Spring holidays in Bressanone: a sea of flowers and snow-capped mountains

Spring is the season in which the Isarco Valley presents itself full of contrast and colours. While in the valley, the apple blossom in South Tyrol transforms the landscape into a sea of flowers, the mountain peaks are still covered with snow. In the spring nature wakens to new life in Bressanone. The trees shine in bright green and on the meadows the first flowers bloom. Take beautiful walks in the warm sunshine through the blossoming orchards in Isarco Valley and enjoy the fresh mountain air on bike tours.
