Holidays in Terenten

Terenten is located on a sunny plateau and is also called “sun village” as the sun is shining much longer than in many other villages in South Tyrol.

All mountains around seem to be within one’s grasp. However, also lovers of culture and discoverers will get their money’s worth. Until today, Terenten is strongly characterised by a rural culture and way of life. You will find rustic farms up to an altitude of 1,500 m; many of them are centuries old and strongly connected to nature.

However, the village with 1,750 inhabitants is a wonderful holiday destination with about 1,300 beds for guests today. Here, travellers can choose between numerous hotels, apartments, B&Bs and farm stays.
