Walking and hiking in and around Nals
An extensive network of trails invites you to walk or hike along the slopes and through the plains of the terraces between Tisens and Eppan. The trails and paths lead you through vineyards and orchards, chestnut groves and mixed woodland, across green mountain meadows and through conifer forests up to the Alpine rose fields. Some of the paths are steep, but they are kept in good condition by the local Alpine club and they are well marked.
