Holiday apartment in San Felice: waterfall, pond and hiking trails

San Felice is situated in a landscape of meadows and forests on the gently sloping ridge of Monte Macaion. The village combines nature destinations, hiking trails, churches and typical dishes to offer a variety of holiday experiences.

Waterfall and pond as nature destinations

The Felice Waterfall plunges 75 metres vertically from a rocky ledge into the depths. The marked path to the waterfall leads via a facility with 170 steps to viewing platforms below the main waterfall. This makes it possible to plan an outing with a clear route and several viewpoints.

The Felice Pond is also known as Tretsee and is located in the Deutschnonsberg region northeast of San Felice. The area around the Felice Pond was placed under nature protection by the South Tyrolean provincial government in 1974. The pond lies at an altitude of 1,604 m and is open for swimming. For planning purposes, the two nature destinations therefore differ in terms of the waterfall, stepped path, altitude and swimming opportunities.

Hikes with different stages

The circular hike from San Felice via Schönegg to Lago di Tret is 12.7 km long and has 519 metres of elevation gain. The route from San Felice to Monte Macaion measures 13.3 km, includes 729 metres of elevation gain and is also classified as moderately difficult. For planning a day, two aspects of the tours can be considered separately: the number of kilometres describes the distance, while the elevation gain describes the ascent. Those choosing the circular hike should plan for 12.7 km and 519 metres of elevation gain; the route to Monte Macaion involves 13.3 km and 729 metres of elevation gain. The circular hike is therefore shorter, while the Monte Macaion route has the greater ascent. Both routes are classified as moderately difficult.

Churches and cultural discoveries

The parish church of San Felice is dedicated to Saint Felix of Nola, the patron saint of domestic animals. The Church of San Felice da Nola dates from the 18th century. In the area around Malgasott stands the Church of Saint Christopher, whose building contains valuable frescoes; the church dedicated to Saint Christopher is a worthwhile excursion destination.

Arriving and touring via the Palade Pass

Bus route 246 connects Lana, Caprile, the Palade Pass and Senale with San Felice in Alta Val di Non. This connection may play a role when choosing accommodation in San Felice if you do not want to consider excursions and arrival exclusively by road. The road over the Palade Pass near San Felice is popular with cyclists and motorcyclists.
