The insider tip in South Tyrol: Jenesien/San Genesio on the Tschögglberg

Your slow mountain holiday high above Bolzano

Jenesien is an absolute insider tip in South Tyrol: Nestled in an enchanting landscape, idyllically and quietly located on the Salten/Salto plateau, a little bit of magic awaits you up here on holiday high above Bolzano. A quiet world far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, crowned by a breathtaking panoramic view of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site. From up here, the vitality of Bolzano almost seems to stand still - the marvellous view of the provincial capital alone lies quietly at your feet. And if you want to immerse yourself in the colourful life, a panoramic road, also easily accessible by bus, takes you down into the valley in just ten minutes, into a lively mix of cultures, languages and architectural styles.
