Holiday apartment in Montan: trails and tours for your planning

Montan is a popular starting point for numerous hikes as well as numerous mountain bike tours. This allows you to plan each day in different ways without limiting the destination to just one type of trip. Those who would like to combine active pursuits with more leisurely discoveries will find several destinations and routes in and around Montan.

The Montan–Glen–Gschnon–Gsteig–Montan circular hike starts at the car park by the entrance to the village of Montan. It follows the “Vecchia Ferrovia” and the Glen Viaduct to the hamlet of Glen. The return to Montan is already indicated in the name of the circular hike, meaning that this route forms a complete loop.

The Pinot Noir Trail is a wine and cultural educational trail that can be walked from Montan. It leads through the Pinot Noir vineyards of Glen and Pinzon.

Another option is the panoramic tour along the Fleimstal railway line. It starts at the entrance to Montan and follows the “Vecia Ferrovia” through orchards and vineyards and over the Glen Viaduct to the hamlet of Glen.

The hike “From the climatic health resort of Gschnon to Trudner Horn” can also be included in your plans. It starts at the lime kiln in Gschnon, a mountain hamlet above Montan. If you are considering a holiday apartment in Montan as your preferred search area, you can therefore decide whether the hikes starting in Montan or the tour from Gschnon better suit your own plans.

Culture between Enn Castle and Pinzon

Enn Castle lies above Montan. The complex was built around 1300 at the request of the noble lords of Enn. Since the 17th century, Enn Castle has been privately owned by the Albrizzi family and is not open to visitors. The annual castle concert held in mid-August is an exception.

In Pinzon stands the Church of St. Stephen, which was built around 1200 in the Romanesque style and subsequently remodelled in the Gothic style. The church also contains a Late Gothic winged altarpiece, probably created around 1485 by the Brixen master Hans Klocker. The church’s two architectural periods and the work of the Late Gothic master provide different historical points of reference for cultural planning around Montan.

When looking for accommodation in Montan, you can therefore weigh up active days on hiking trails, wine and cultural trails, as well as excursions to Enn Castle and Pinzon. The starting points for the tours are located partly in Montan and partly in Gschnon; the cultural destinations provide their own distinct focuses. A holiday apartment in Montan is therefore particularly suitable as a starting point for your search if you would like to include these different themes in your travel plans.
