Family hiking tour: Villabassa/Niederdorf – Santa Maria/Aufkirchen

The walk starts in Niederdorf at Von-Kurz-Platz (main square). The route initially leads gently uphill along well-marked paths towards Aufkirchen, a small village with traditional buildings and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The trail is well-maintained throughout and is ideal for families or leisurely hikers. In Aufkirchen, you reach the highest point of the walk at 1,300 meters. This is a great spot to take a short break and enjoy the view of the South Tyrolean mountains.

From there, the trail gently descends back to Niederdorf, forming a circular route. The entire walk takes about two hours and offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature. It's a perfect way to explore the region without too much effort.
