Green mobility
Discover the Dolomites in Italy without a car
Nestled in a uniquely beautiful natural landscape on the high plateau of Deutschnofen/Nova Ponente, the Green Luxury Hotel Pfösl is the perfect starting point for mindful discovery. Here, relaxation doesn’t begin only at the summit – it starts the moment you feel you’ve arrived. Choosing to experience the Dolomites without a car means traveling stress-free and at a slower pace, allowing you to connect more deeply with your surroundings. From the Pfösl, countless opportunities open up to explore the region sustainably and comfortably—and with the South Tyrol Guest Pass, you won’t even need to worry about buying tickets!
Green arrival – a relaxed start to your holiday
Even the journey to South Tyrol is surprisingly easy without a car. The region is well connected to the European rail network, with direct links to the provincial capital of Bolzano, which is also home to the nearest airport. From there, a bus will take you comfortably to Deutschnofen and the Hotel Pfösl. Your stay thus begins without traffic jams or long, tiring drives. Experiencing Italy without a car is a conscious choice for greater calm and sustainability – and the perfect way to ease into your time away.
Green exploring – flexible even without your own vehicle
Getting around locally and hiking without a car in South Tyrol is just as simple and straightforward. A dense network of buses, trains, and cable cars reliably connects valleys, villages, and hiking areas. Especially here in the Val d’Ega, guests benefit from well-coordinated connections that bring them directly to the starting points of the most popular hikes and excursion destinations. Discovering the Dolomites without a car is not only possible but truly comfortable: hop on, lean back, and watch the scenery unfold.
The South Tyrol Guest Pass – your key to the region
A major advantage for car-free travel in the region is the South Tyrol Guest Pass, which you receive free of charge as a guest at the Green Luxury Hotel Pfösl. It entitles you to use public transport across all of South Tyrol for the duration of your stay, making spontaneous excursions particularly easy. The pass generally covers all means of public transport within the network, including regional trains, bus routes, and selected lifts. Sustainable mobility thus becomes convenient, flexible, and hassle-free.
3 car-free experiences around the Pfösl
Latemar circular hike from Obereggen
Just a short bus ride from the hotel lies Obereggen, the starting point for one of the region’s most impressive hikes. The Latemar roundtrip leads through striking rock formations and offers sweeping views of the Dolomites time and again. Here, hiking without a car becomes an intensive nature experience: the trail begins almost right at your doorstep and leads into one of Europe’s most beautiful mountain landscapes. Ideal for those who want to combine healthy exercise with unforgettable panoramic views.
Circular walk around Lake Carezza at the foot of the Rosengarten massif
Lake Carezza is one of South Tyrol’s most famous natural gems – yet it is easily accessible without a car. A short bus ride brings you to its shores, where the Dolomites are reflected in its emerald-green waters. The short and easy circular walk offers different perspectives of the lake and the surrounding mountains – a perfect example of how rewarding it is to explore Italy without a car.
City flair in Bolzano or Merano
A car-free city trip is the perfect contrast to a nature-focused itinerary. From Deutschnofen, you can comfortably reach South Tyrol’s most renowned cities, Bolzano and Merano, by bus and train. While Bolzano charms visitors with its blend of Mediterranean and Alpine flair, excellent shopping opportunities, and lively markets, Merano invites you to stroll through its historic arcades, promenades, and gardens. Both towns beautifully illustrate how diverse a journey to Italy without a car can be, from alpine idyll to urban culture.
Traveling car-free in South Tyrol is a true gain – in experiences, tranquility, and sustainability. The combination of well-developed infrastructure and forward-thinking mobility concepts makes South Tyrol an ideal destination for conscious travellers. From the Green Luxury Hotel Pfösl, nature can be explored in a particularly sustainable way: close by, affordable, and varied throughout the year.
