Rittner Horn

Rittner Horn rises to 2,260 meters as the highest point of the Renon High Plateau and is made accessible through cable cars and pathways. From here, you can see Alpine mountain ranges in many directions.

Development of this mountain began in the mid-20th century when the first ski lifts were installed. This infrastructure gradually transformed the peak into a popular winter sports destination.

The mountain huts on the slopes serve local South Tyrolean dishes and offer visitors a chance to rest with regional specialties. You will find here a tradition of hospitality that hut keepers have maintained for generations.

A cable car transports visitors from the valley to the summit station in just a few minutes, and the ride operates even in poor weather. The warmer months are best for visits, though the mountain is open year-round.

The Panorama Trail on this mountain was Italy's first certified winter hiking path and winds through snow-covered landscapes. This route shows visitors can explore the peak in winter without skis.
