Ritten & area

The farm „Kaserhof“ is located on a southward directed hillside in Oberbozen/Soprabolzano on the sunny high plateau of Ritten/Renon. The newly built cable car connects Ritten/Renon every four minutes with the capital city of the region, Bozen/Bolzano. Furthermore there is a historical narrow-gauge railway going from village to village. On the “Rittner Horn” mountain, a cable car ascents up to the summit as high as 2.260 height meters, in the midst of a breathtaking panoramic view, overseeing this perfect skiing area for families in the wintertime.
Several small museums nourish the hunger for cultural experiences, countless hiking and walking paths offer our guests the prefect scenery to relax body and soul, just as a large spectrum of sports facilities.
You can use the cable cars and narrow-gauge railway free of charge with your “Rittencard”.

The small country South Tyrol offers numerous cultural and culinary highlights. A cappuccino on the main square, the Waltherplatz, shopping or strolling past the store windows in the nearby capital city Bozen/Bolzano, a visit in one of the more than 80 museums or an exciting mountain tour up the highest peaks: South Tyrol is an enchanting country of pleasant variety.
Visit our charming towns Meran/Merano, Bozen/Bolzano, Sterzing/Vipiteno, Brixen/Bressanone and Bruneck/Brunico with all their numerous sights, stores and restaurants. Conquer the summits of the UNESCO world heritage site, the Dolomite Mountains. Or simply enjoy the South Tyrolean way of life with all its lovely variety and irresistible mix of northern and southern lifestyle.

On Ritten you find several hundreds of kilometers of marked hiking and walking paths, starting in the vineyards in Bozen/Bolzano up to heights of more than 2.000 meters over the sea. Therefore it is no wonder that the area offers the right route for everyone: Easy ways and themed promenades for families with children, long tours for experienced hikers and amazingly smooth ways through meadows and forests for those who especially enjoy the rich nature. Due to the many taverns, hutches and farms with restaurants along the ways, you don’t have to worry about your meals and snacks.
The hiking way with the number six leads directly past the farm „Kaserof“, guiding you into Oberbozen, along the “Riggermoos” up to the “Rittner Horn”, to Lichtenstern, Klobenstein and from there towards all directions all over the Ritten high plateau.

In the month of December a special highligh awaits our guests: The South Tyrolean Christmas markets, which allure with their peaceful and authentic atmosphere. In the city of Meran, Bozen, Brixen, Sterzing and Bruneck the traditional Christmas markets offer a festive sentiment, Christmas delicacies and South Tyrolean coziness. At the Medieval Christmas Market in Klausen, the Alpine Advent in Sarntal and of course at the traditional Christmas Train in Oberbozen, the mood is even more peaceful and you find more locals among the visitors.
