Unique variety. In every respect. We could hardly sum it up any better than this if we were called on to provide a succinct description of Bruneck. To the north of the main Alpine ridge and the south of the Dolomites, Bruneck lies right in the middle, in the Pustertal Valley at the foot of the Kronplatz. Right where the Tauferer Ahrntal and Gadertal valleys come together. And the Ahr and Rienz rivers. The historic town atmosphere and the mountain world of the Alps. And what our town has to offer is correspondingly colourful and varied: culture and tradition. Historic castles and museums. Loads of nature and fun leisure activities. Shopping experiences. Great restaurants and cafés. Accommodation to suit all tastes. Adventure and relaxation. And right outside your door: the Kronplatz and the Dolomites. The perfect year-round holiday destination for nature lovers and active types. No matter how you would like to explore it. Be it on a hike or mountain bike ride, golfing or rock climbing, downhill or cross-country skiing. Everyone can find their own personal bit of happiness here – including you! Come and give it a try!
When summer comes to Bruneck, hardcore mountain sports fans and gourmets are equally happy. That’s because in the varied natural surroundings down in the valley and up in the mountains it is equally easy to burn off your excess energy as it is to relax. How about you? Do you like to go hiking or do you never go on holiday without your mountain bike or e-bike? Perhaps you are looking for adventure and wouldn’t mind a bit of paragliding or canyoning? Or maybe you prefer rock climbing or golfing? A plunge into a mountain lake or a relaxing day by the pool? No matter what you want to do on your summer break in Bruneck, the possibilities are as varied as the mountains that surround you. You only have to seize them.
