South Tyrol tours at a glance
Guided days in South Tyrol fall into a few groups. There are day trips by road, an adventure zipline, food and wine tours in and around Bolzano, and a tandem paragliding flight. Our own pages on Bolzano, Alpe di Siusi and Tre Cime di Lavaredo explain the places themselves, while this page explains the tour types.
Read the included services before you book. Entrance fees, drinks and tips are often extra, and some tours start in a different city from the one you stay in. Meeting points differ a lot: a square in Bolzano, a cable car station, a hotel pick-up or a piazza in Venice.
If you would rather have a guide or a car for your group alone, see our South Tyrol private tour options for the Dolomites and Merano.
If you would rather ride, our South Tyrol e-bike tour page compares a guided vineyard ride from Bolzano with a self-guided e-bike ride on the Seiser Alm.
Our picks: guided tours and activities
Our take: the tasting walks in Bolzano and the winery visit in Tramin suit a food-focused day, the zipline and the tandem paraglide suit anyone who wants height and speed. The Venice day trip is for travelers who start there and still want to see the Dolomites.
Hand-picked tours, booked through GetYourGuide and Viator. Prices are indicative starting prices in euros (as of October 2026). Tap a tour for live availability and the current price in your currency.

Dolomites day trips
Seen from the South Tyrol side.
A day trip from Venice leaves from Piazza Roma and goes to Lago di Braies and Tre Cime di Lavaredo and back. It includes the transport and an English-speaking driver-guide. Food, drinks and tips are not included, and the day is long at about 10 hours, mostly on the road. If you sleep in South Tyrol, you save that time by going to the places directly: the Lago di Braies page and the Tre Cime page explain the access rules for 2026.
For the Venice side of the trip, see Dolomites day trips from Venice. Seceda and the Tre Cime toll road have their own rules, covered on the pages for Val Gardena and Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
Zipline
The zipline starts at San Vigilio di Marebbe. The ticket includes a helmet and a harness, plus the transfer to the start, which goes by cable car or by van depending on the season. Extras such as a camera, a photo or a phone case cost more and are not offered in winter. A ticket is valid for one day; it does not tell you how long the activity takes, so ask the operator for the timing of your slot.
Our page on South Tyrol zipline compares the course at San Vigilio di Marebbe with the flight at Monte Pana.
Dress for the weather at altitude and read the operator's conditions before you book. You will find more ideas for active days on our things to do page.
Good to know
The zipline is a different trip from the cable car rides on the Seiser Alm or to Seceda, which are ordinary lift tickets.
Food and wine in Bolzano
Tastings on foot, in a winery and at your accommodation.
Street food tour
An English-speaking guide leads a walk of about 2.5 hours from Walther Square with five food tastings, one special drink and one glass of wine. Extra food and drinks and entrance fees are not included.
Second food tour
This tour starts at Rathausplatz and includes an English-speaking local guide, water and a full meal spread over at least 4 stops. Our page on the Bolzano food tour compares such tours with start points and prices.
Winery in Tramin
A guided winery visit with a wine tasting in Tramin, a village on the South Tyrol Wine Road. See the wine page for more cellars.
Wine and cheese day
A day tour that includes entrance fees, meals, personal support and pick-up and return at your accommodation. The route follows your region, so confirm it after booking.
Paragliding
The tandem flight meets at the square in front of the cable car entrance at Plose, Brixen. It includes private transportation, a safety briefing, equipment (harness, helmet and gloves) and the flight with an experienced pilot. Flights depend on the conditions on the day, so keep your schedule flexible and read the cancellation terms. A walking tour in Bolzano is a good plan B for a day without flying.
Our page on South Tyrol paragliding compares four tandem flights at Kronplatz and the Plose.
