COME ON, COME TO GARGAZON!

THE SECRET TIP IN SOUTH TYROL

A PLACE WITH LOTS OF POSSIBILITIES

Never heard of Gargazon? Then it’s high time you paid us a visit! The name is said to refer to the gurgling of the Aschler Bach stream, which flows from high on the mountain down to Gargazon. We are also known as the garden village. Apple meadows, terraced vineyards and green for as far as the eye can see. Behind the village, red porphyry crags rise into the heavens. They give our wines minerality and a fine fruity flavour.

Visitors like coming to Gargazon, because we are little bit away from the hustle and bustle of the town and yet still quite close to the state capital of Bolzano and the spa town of Merano. The range of leisure activities in the area is amazing. We have put together a short list of the best for you here.

Hits for Kids

On holiday children need relaxed parents and varied activities. For the latter, Gargazon and the surrounding area has plenty to offer. The holidays are nowhere near long enough to try out all of the attractions available! From the high ropes course and alpine bob to a riding excursion – there's sure to be something for everyone!
