Valle Isarco: a world of activities, attractions and events

Name: Hotel Birkenbrunn
Address: Via Unterbrunnergasse 1, Naz-Sciaves, South Tyrol, 39040, Italy

Even lovelier when seen up close

In spring, a colourful sea of apple blossom fills the valley with a sweet scent; in winter, the rocky giants are clothed in white; but the Isarco Valley is delightful all year round, with its fascinating mix of Mediterranean brio and alpine friendliness.

Simply put, it’s idyllic. Yes, the Naz-Sciaves apple-orchard plateau is only a tiny heart-shaped area on the big map of South Tyrol, but perhaps that’s what gives the village its special charm.
