Versatile Vinschgau valley
Your summer holiday in the Vinschgau: where mountains meet Mediterranean flair
Summer, sun, mountains and lots of fresh and healthy air, that’s what you´ll get in the great sun paradise of our valley. The many sunny days during the summertime are perfect for hiking in the beautiful landscape of South Tyrol. This is sure to push your energy levels up and help your body & soul recover and feel brand new. You can create your individual holiday experience by taking a bike ride along the Etsch River through the Vinschgau to the city of Meran, by playing a few rallies on the nearby tennis courts in Mals or just by relaxing in a small Ice bar while enjoying a delicious Italian Gelato. Another option is to hike to one of the traditional Alp restaurants like the Sesvenna-house, where you can get in touch with nature and the local people.
Particularly, the summertime in Vinschgau gives you many options to explore the area in different ways. You can follow the medieval roots of the town by visiting the historical castles, museums and of course the monastery of Marienberg, which is just a few minutes of walking distance from DAS GERSTL Alpine Retreat.

Lake Resia Guest Pass
Our guests are given the Lake Resia Guest Pass upon arrival. This special ticket entitles our guests to the unlimited use of all public means of transport throughout South Tyrol and offers a range of further advantages, too.
Culture trip
While South Tyrol's natural beauty is well-known across the globe, its cultural treasures and heritage are often forgotten about. As a matter of fact, South Tyrol is extremely rich in history, both cultural and architectural, and the South Tyroleans have stories to tell. Visit some of the many castles, forts and monasteries and find out more about the region's history, culture, lifestyle and traditions, which wonderfully and incomparably bring together the rough Alpine spirit with the southern savoir vivre.
Impressions
Majestic mountains and rough rock faces, spraying mountain streams and waterfalls, gurgling brooks, lush green meadows and Alpine pastures across softly rolling hills, delicate flowers and strong, tall trees - whether in winter, summer, spring or autumn, South Tyrol is well worth visiting all year round and never fails to enthral its guests. We have collected some summer impressions for you that you won't be able to resist.
