End your day in Schluderns, home to one of the most impressive and best-preserved castles in South Tyrol.

Start your day at the foot of Sonnberg and continue your journey through dense forests. Above Laas, a town well known for its white marble, you'll reach the orchards of Vinschgau – a sea of apple trees stretching as far as the eye can see.
