The old smuggling route (2,474m) is the highest non-glaciated pass between Reschen and Brenner. Fantastic views and curves (toll road, closed in winter). More about Timmelsjoch

Spa town Meran

Many believe that Meran is the most beautiful Alpine town due to the mix of Mediterranean influence and high mountains. The gardens of Trautmannsdorf Castle and the city center are worth a visit for everyone.

Lake Reschen

The 6km long reservoir has a silent, striking witness of the old Graun submerged in the water in the 1950s: the Graun church tower.

Piller
Piller height A beautiful viewpoint into the Upper Inn Valley is the Pillerhöhe on the way from Fließ to Arzl at the entrance of the Pitztal. Note: Above the viewpoint "Gacher Blick," locals sit on a bench, usually unnoticed by motorcyclists => Those who feel too unobserved should look around first.

Step on the gas and have fun!
