Rustic and authentic Val Passiria/Passeiertal
Idyllic, untouched, inviting
Untouched Val Passiria/Passeiertal stretches all the way from the Mediterranean spa town of Meran with its palm and cypress trees to the Passo del Rombo/Timmelsjoch and Passo di Monte Giovo/Jaufenpass, two panoramic and winding passes.
