A light show, fresh mountain air, an enveloping silence accompanied only by the natural sounds of the mountains – this is the idyllic atmosphere to be experienced by those who get up early to enjoy the sunrise in the mountains. Below, we invite you to immerse yourself in an experience not to be missed in the mountains of Ratschings – and maybe even sleepyheads will give themselves an effort to experience a magical moment!
Making the most of the day while others are still sleeping
“The morning has gold in its mouth,” an expression that with a sunrise hike takes on a whole new meaning. When the first rays of the sun rest on the peaks all around, then fatigue disappears, and getting up early pays off! Already during the day, the mountains that frame the valley captivate thanks to the magnificent views. But it is especially at first light that they transform into extraordinary viewpoints. Either solo or by taking part in a guided sunrise tour, you can admire a natural spectacle that is unparalleled and will remain etched in your heart forever.
Of course, sunrise in the mountains is not to be compared with it at the sea, or anywhere else – the experience begins not only with the first rays of light, but still in the dark darkness: reaching the ideal position to admire this natural spectacle requires the commitment of a climb under the early morning stars – also a breathtaking adventure. Once at the summit, however, it is even better to see the world from above as nature slowly wakes up. And of course, there is still enough time left afterwards to merit a hearty breakfast of mountain flavors.
For those interested in this wonderful way to start a day in the mountains, we offer to experience an unforgettable morning on the Passo del Giovo every week from July until September. This special place, which divides Val Racines from Val Passiria, offers magnificent views-especially at sunrise! Following a leisurely guided hike along the Passo Giovo ridge, it’s only right to marvel at the breathtaking panorama in all the colors of the morning light. Afterwards, a hearty Alpine breakfast of regional products is provided, including all that gastronomy has to offer: homemade bread, real butter and alpine cheese, various jams, cakes, sausages, eggs, yogurt, as well as juices and hot drinks.
