It is the mountain par excellence of Bolzano, South Tyrol’s capital city, and is a popular destination for elite tourism: hiking, tradition, culture, vacationing, and wellness. The Ritten, not coincidentally called the Plateau of the Sun, is located in the heart ofSouth Tyrol and is quickly and conveniently accessible from Bolzano via the Ritten cable car, which connects the city center with Soprabolzano in a short time across lush green meadows and forests.

Also nicknamed the Riviera of the Dolomites, Renon has a long history of welcoming tourists: as far back as the 1600s, the nobles of Bolzano stayed on these heights to escape the city’s heat; it is said that the so-called
Sommerfrische
, the summer resort.

“Divinely beautiful and cozy”-it was with these words that Sigmund Freud described the Ritten to Carl Gustav Jung in the early 1900s; patrician villas and Art Nouveau holiday homes still testify to the plateau’s centuries-old tradition as a top vacation destination. An exclusive destination consisting of pretty villages not far from each other such as Soprabolzano, Collalbo, Auna di Sopra, Longostagno, Costalovara…

Not much has changed in Renon since ancient times; the sense of peace and tranquility remains unchanged.

Renon’s offerings are diverse and complete: from the toy train which, since 1907 has connected the different centers of the plateau inviting guests to forget their cars in the valley, to the famous and impressive earth pyramids, the result of a geological phenomenon of moraine rock erosion that began about 25 thousand years ago to activities, recreational and otherwise, for the families.

With as many as 300 days of sunshine a year, in every season the Ritten offers the chance to regenerate strength through a privileged contact with nature.

There is, of course, no shortage of green trails of different types for hiking and trekking, mountain bike trails, horseback riding and sports opportunities, as well as a diverse range of cultural and culinary events.

Offer that cannot be separated from a comprehensive hotel reception, made up of hotels and resorts of excellence different from each other, for a total mixture of ancient and modern, but united by a high level of services offered that includes, in most cases, wellness centers and in-house spas, for absolute wellness for body and mind.
