Discovering Brennero - Brenner
Located at an altitude of 1,374 meters, on the border between Italy and Austria, Brenner is far more than a mountain pass: it’s a tourist destination nestled in the Eisack Valley, ideal for those seeking mountain holidays filled with nature, outdoor sports, and Alpine culture. With its surrounding hamlets – Gossensaß (Colle Isarco), Pflersch (Fleres), Brennerbad (Terme di Brennero), Mauls (Moncucco) and Pontigl (Ponticolo) – the area offers a diverse and authentic landscape.
In summer, Brenner is the perfect starting point for panoramic hikes, trekking, and mountain biking. Trails leading to Rifugio Cima Gallina, Mount Sattelberg, or the Pflersch Waterfalls provide breathtaking views and immersion in pristine nature. In winter, the nearby Ladurns ski resort offers snow-covered slopes, sledding, cross-country skiing, and a dedicated Kinderland for families.
From a cultural perspective, Brenner surprises visitors with the Plessi Museum, the first museum located directly on a motorway, housed in the former customs building. Here, multimedia installations by artist Fabrizio Plessi explore the relationship between art, nature, and territory. The museum stands as a symbol of European connection.
For those seeking relaxation, Brennerbad offers therapeutic waters known since the 15th century for their healing properties.
Easily accessible via the A22 motorway and international railway, Brenner is the gateway to the Dolomites, where every journey becomes a truly authentic experience.
