Top Trento Rail Tours

South Tyrol is the most un-Italian part of Italy, stands out for its Alpine location, languages, architecture, and culture. This excursion mixes the best of both worlds with time in the regional capital, Bolzano, and scenery-rich train ride through the Renon plateau. Bolzano, or Bozen in German, is known for its Archaeological Museum, which houses Ötzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old mummified Copper Age shepherd. You can explore the museum or enjoy the city’s charming streets, piazzas, and local specialties like apple strudel. The trip continues with a cable car ride from Bolzano to the Renon plateau, followed by a narrow-gauge train journey through picturesque landscapes. A short walk leads to the plateau's unique earth pyramids, towering pillars shaped by nature, which can reach heights of 30 meters.
