Welcome to Vahrn/Neustift

Its setting alone - surrounded by vineyards - makes it special. Founded in 1142, the Augustinian abbey with its art gallery, grand library, collegiate church and Engelsburg is a place where history lives on.

A beautiful town, beautiful things: around 350 shops can be found in Brixen’s old town and surrounding area. Shopping here becomes a personal experience - set against medieval arcades, Domplatz Square and the Herrengarten.

In Tyrol’s oldest town, art, culture and history take centre stage. As you stroll across the cathedral square, past religious buildings, through narrow alleyways and under the arcades, the town reveals itself in all its diversity.

Straight from the town into nature: the basin around Brixen offers many short circular hikes. Walk to Neustift Abbey and back, or follow the river along the Bachdamm loop.

Nature, views of the Dolomites and exciting attractions: in summer, the Plose shows its active side. And during selected periods, one ascent and descent per day is free with the Brixen Südtirol Card.

Winemakers of the Isarco Valley are passionate about their craft, producing outstanding wines. In Italy’s northernmost wine-growing region, mineral-rich soils create perfect conditions for fresh, vibrant wines.

Walk through the northernmost vineyards of the Isarco Valley and stop at local wineries or the monastery cellar of the famous Augustinian abbey - an easy walk with plenty of enjoyment.

A refreshing break at the Schalderer stream: the Kneipp facility in Vahrn with water basins and a large sunbathing lawn is a place to relax and recharge – with a playground included.

Simply breathtaking: the Schrüttensee, with its clear green water, nestled among pine trees and alpine roses above Vahrn, is a rewarding hike of around five and a half hours.

Just seven kilometres from Brixen, the Plose opens up as a sunny winter sports area and part of Dolomiti Superski: 40 kilometres of slopes, seven lifts and runs for every level.
