South Tyrol promotes autumn cycling and culinary tourism

Autumn in the South Tyrol region, specifically around Klausen, Barbian, Feldthurns, and Villanders, offers a combination of outdoor activities and seasonal culinary traditions. The season is characterized by stable weather and clear views, making it an ideal time for mountain biking, gravel biking, and hiking through vineyards and alpine pastures.

Several local events highlight the region's gastronomy. In Klausen, the 'Gassltörggelen' takes place from September 18–20, 2026, featuring traditional dishes like dumplings, sausages, and roasted chestnuts paired with local white wines. In Verdings, the 'Birmehl-Herbst' runs from September 21–27, 2026, celebrating traditional pear flour. Additionally, the 'Keschtniglwochen' in Feldthurns occurs from October 17 to November 8, 2026, centered around the area's approximately 3,300 chestnut trees.
