In both summer and winter, Mt. Corno del Renon - easily reachable from Bolzano also by public transport - is a popular excursion destination. The cable car takes you from Pemmern up to the mountain, and then the real summit can be reached in the easy one-hour hike at the Cima Lago Nero. The theme path "The Fabulous World of Toni" at the Cima Lago Nero mountain station, on the other hand, is also suitable for prams and therefore very popular among families.
The unforgettable view from Mt. Corno del Renon or Rittner Horn includes the Ortles Alps, Oetztal Alps, Dolomites, Stubai and Zillertal Alps, and the Brenta Group in the neighbouring Trentino. The mountain huts invite to stop and relax. In winter you might enjoy the family-friendly Corno del Renon Skiing Area, offering gentle, vast slopes, one of the toboggan runs in Bolzano & surroundings and a snow park at the intermediate station. Also cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, winter hiking with destinations such as the Feltuner Mountain Hut and walking on Italy's 1st certified winter hiking trail - the Premium Panorama Tour Trail - are popular activities.
