South Tyrol in spring – Brixen between nature, enjoyment, and exercise

When the first warm rays of sunshine gently replace winter, South Tyrol shows its mild side in spring. In Brixen, nature slowly awakens, markets fill the streets, cafés open their terraces, and the clear mountain air invites you to take leisurely walks. It is this special transitional period in which spring in South Tyrol is experienced not loudly, but subtly and at a slower pace. An ideal combination of nature, cuisine, and cultural lightness.

Culinary spring in the Eisack Valley

When South Tyrol awakens in spring, the Eisack Valley also shows off its culinary side. During a vineyard tour with tasting in Vahrn, the first warm rays of sunshine meet fresh, mineral white wines. The farmers’ market in Brixen brings regional specialties, from homemade pasta sauces to fresh Tirteln (filled dumplings made from rye and wheat flour), right into the city center, making spring in South Tyrol particularly enjoyable. At the end of April, Neustift Spring welcomes visitors with relaxing walks, open wine cellars, and fine spring cuisine—a feast for all the senses.
