The cable car takes you from the village to the San Martino hiking and skiing area: Here lies the geographical centre of South Tyrol
San Martino (Reinswald) is located in the Reinswald Valley in the rear Val Sarentino. There are two other hamlets nearby: Boscoriva and Hinterreinswald. What distinguishes San Martino from the other mountain villages is its cable car, which shows you the beauty of the Sarentino Alps. It starts at the edge of the village. Below is the centre with the Church of St. Martin, which gives the village its Italian name. The bus stops here: Line 152 connects San Martino with the village of Sarentino.
A smelting site from the Bronze Age tells of the long human presence on these sunny slopes. In the Middle Ages, silver was mined below the Toter Rücken hill and the Black Lakes (Schwarzseen or Laghi Neri), before the 20th century brought the first tourists. One of the most stunning places above San Martino, the Urle Pond, is known as the geographical centre of South Tyrol. The Urlesteig, a family-friendly theme trail with play stations along the mountain stream, was built along a mountain stream.
The circular trail to the San Martino Mills, the tour to the Getrum Mountain Hut on the southern slopes of the Mt. Corno Planca and the mountain tour to the Cima San Cassiano and the Croce di Lazfons are also impressive summer experiences. In winter, the Reinswald Skiing Area opens its doors with a snow park, sledge run and numerous winter hiking trails. The wide sunny slopes are popular, and in the evenings they remain open for moonlight sledging and a stop at a hut.
