Sights in and around Kaltern
Located in the southern part of South Tyrol, Kaltern is a delightful little town with a beautiful lake and a long wine-growing tradition. It’s a destination for young and old, sports enthusiasts and rest-seekers, hikers and swimmers, foodies and culture vultures. With its faceted soul, Kaltern combines old and new, traditional wine-growing and experimental vinification, buildings steeped in history and modern architecture. But what really sets Kaltern apart is its warm atmosphere, which blends the South Tyrolean way of life with a Mediterranean flair.
A walk in the town
Explore the bustling market square with its bars, restaurants, ice cream parlours and weekly farmer’s market, where you can purchase fresh local produce. The balmy summer evenings are perfect for going out and enjoying the many festivals, concerts and night-shopping events that are organised regularly. The town centre is just a 15-minute walk from here.
A day by the lake
Swimming, pedal boating, surfing, sailing, kite surfing and stand-up paddling: the Kalterersee lake is the warmest lake in the Alps and offers plenty of opportunities for rest and recreation. Enjoy an aperitivo by the lake or take a walk around it while relishing a delicious Italian ice cream!
Divine nectar
As a town with a well-established wine-growing tradition, Kaltern offers many opportunities to get to know the local wine culture. Visit the South Tyrolean Wine Museum, take guided tours of the cellars at the local wineries, and enjoy the wine tastings offered in the town’s wine bars and at the numerous themed events… or indulge with an exciting Wine Safari.
Up to the Mendel pass
The Mendelbahn funicular was built in 1903 and is still one of the steepest funiculars in Europe. It negotiates a climb of about 850 metres with a gradient of 64% in around 12 minutes – a ride worth taking! The valley station of the Mendelbahn funicular is only 50 metres away from Babioshof, and you can ride for free using our WinePass!
