San Genesio the stronghold of South Tyrol’s summer

Sun-clad, crazy about walking, pleasure seeking – This is San Genesio/Jenesien. In the warm season San Genesio/Jenesien turns into a hotspot for lovers of walking, those passionate about horse riding and for all whose passion is seeking the pleasant and regenerating power of nature.

San Genesio/Jenesien, a village that seems to transform with each season. The white of winter turns into a mix of blossom white and soft green during spring. A green that turns fuller and darker in summer, and explodes into a sea of warm colours in autumn.

In San Genesio/Jenesien we are particularly spoilt by the sun. No other village in South Tyrol can boast the same amount of sunshine-hours. This means that our guests particularly love to spend time in the open and the best thing is, our area seems to be designed just for that purpose: the Salto/Salten area, with its infinite larch woods and its undulating landscape of gentle hills, invites you to simply take a walk, or discover the landscape on horseback, or to take a ride on your MTB. The sport lovers who want to challenge themselves further can walk to the peak of a mountain in the area, or – being that they are experienced enough to – conquer one of the Dolomites’ peaks.

Therefore, you see, San Genesio/Jenesien is always worth a trip. You will realise this as soon as you visit us. Therefore, what are you waiting for?
