Appiano is not only a paradise for lovers of fine wine and good food, but also an ideal destination for anyone who feels at home in the mountains. If you are happiest reaching the summit, taking in the views across the valley and admiring the surrounding peaks, you will find plenty of opportunities for challenging mountain hikes around Appiano. The ascent of Gantkofel (Macaion) or a hike to Furglauer Scharte (Forcella Furglau) are particularly rewarding experiences for experienced and sure-footed hikers.
A spectacular way to see the South Tyrolean Wine Road from above is the Appiano High Trail. This moderately difficult hike follows mostly forest paths beneath the Mendel ridge and offers beautiful views over Appiano, the Überetsch area and the Bozen basin.
Whether you prefer a summit hike, a high-altitude trail or a more challenging mountain tour, the area around Appiano offers plenty of routes for combining nature, exercise and impressive alpine scenery.
