South Tyrol Motorcycling in the Val di Non Valley, meandering adventures

Riding along the high Alpine roads, one begins to appreciate the South Tyrolean landscape in all its glory. The narrow hairpin bends leading up to the panoramic viewing platforms on the mountain passes allow one to observe and absorb the beauty of the Alpine landscapes, historic fortresses and mountain lakes down below. With their sumptuous blend of Alpine-Mediterranean cuisine and characteristic atmosphere, the local inns and taverns along the way have much to offer.

Riding along the winding mountain roads through untamed terrain up to the glaciers, motorcycling in South Tyrol is at its most inspiring. The numerous mountain passes include the Tonale, Mendola, Palade, Hofmahdjoch and the renowned Stilfserjoch in the neighbouring Venosta Valley.

On the daily runs along the winding roads, the sumptuous home-cooked fare served at the friendly taverns and mountain refuges are always something to look forward to. Our Standard rooms at the Gasthof Zum Hirschen Hotel in Senale are ideal for a one-night stayover.

The Gasthof Zum Hirschen Hotel in the Val di Non Valley on the provincial border between South Tyrol and Trentino makes a great starting point for various motorcycle runs. The Palade Pass provides the link to Lana and the spa town of Merano, while the Mendel Pass links the small town of Fondo in Trentino to the fertile wine-growing areas around Caldaro. Slightly further afield, the Tonale Pass connects the Val di Sole Valley with Valcamonica in Lombardy.
