Here are the GIUS holiday tips for your stay in Kaltern!
Holidaying in Kaltern, in a wine village, by a lake, in the mountains - all in the south of South Tyrol. What is there to do there on holiday? Of course there is the wine to enjoy, the lake to swim in, the mountains for walking, the vineyard landscapes to admire and the atmosphere of the south. Those looking for genuine highlights when planning their holidays that will long stay in the memory, however, should take some advice from those in the know – with the GIUS holiday tips:
1. Sunrise up at a mountain hut
This is an absolute must! There is more to Kaltern than its leafy vineyards or its gentle lakes and woodlands. The village rises up the steep slopes of the Mendel ridge almost to the Mendel Pass, where the people of Kaltern go to escape the summer heat. The charming GIUS mountain hut there provides overnight accommodation and a magical atmosphere, while in the morning you can rise and welcome the sun! Sunrise is a wonderful experience for the soul, with a morning walk to the nearby Lavina peak offering wonderful views and impressions.
You are welcome to use our mountain hut!
2. Una vespa mi porterà ...
The Vespa – surely the very essence of the Italian dolce vita. Puttering through Kaltern’s vineyard landscapes, exploring the nearby wine villages and discovering places where you can find good food, good wine - and ideally both!
We have fantastic Vespa tours, including places to stop and eat, just ready and waiting for you - and an Italian cult scooter for hire!
3. Brunch it, baby!
Brunch is the in thing, and it’s not hard to understand why! Sleeping in, then enjoying breakfast and lunch together makes for the perfect holiday combination.

6. It’s a duck’s life
Gliding over Lake Kaltern with your feet trailing in the cool water: do like the ducks do and savour the warmest lake in the Alps - right in the middle, drifting away. You just need a rowing boat or pedalo and off you go - the quiet lapping of the water is just wonderful for re-lake-sing!
