Holidays in October: autumn emotions in South Tyrol

The autumn in South Tyrol offers an enchanting play of colours in nature. Bright red and honey yellow – the leaves shine in all shades on the trees, and the deep green of the pines and firs creates fascinating contrasts. The azure blue sky spans the scenery, and the mountains in the autumn offer a breathtaking panoramic view. The apple and vine harvest in the Isarco Valley is almost finished in October, and during the Apple Festival in Naz/Sciaves the new Apple Queen will be crowned. Beautiful hikes during your vacation in October will take you through colourful vineyards and gaudy forests.
