Renon earth pyramids
The Renon Earth Pyramids are one of those destinations that put a smile on your face even before you arrive. The cable car takes you up in comfort, followed by a leisurely chug through meadows and forests on the little Renon railway. And suddenly you find yourself standing in front of these bizarre natural wonders, wondering how nature can be so creative.
The Renon Earth Pyramids combine everything families love: little adventures, big views and moments that become unforgettable when shared together.
Glide upwards with the Renon cable car
In just 12 minutes, you can take the cable car from Bolzano up to the Renon plateau. There is no fixed timetable and no rush: every few minutes, a gondola opens and glides away. The city remains below, while above, wide open spaces and fresh mountain air await – and with this quiet feeling, our excursion begins.
Hop on and enjoy: the Rittner Bahnl railway
A real highlight for children, pure relaxation for parents. The Rittner Bahnl winds its way leisurely through the plateau, making the journey itself an experience. No stress, no crowds – just scenery, movement and that special feeling of being on the move.
Walking to the earth pyramids
The quietest part of the excursion begins at the Klobenstein terminus. Trail no. 24 leads leisurely to the viewing terraces, where the Ritten earth pyramids suddenly appear before you – bizarre, impressive and almost a little fairy-tale-like. Behind them, the Dolomites open up like a natural backdrop to marvel at.
Stop at Maria Saal
Before heading back, it's worth taking a short break at the Maria Saal inn. After a short walk, you can enjoy classic South Tyrolean dishes, a sunny terrace and a view that is almost as impressive as the earth pyramids themselves. Perfect for taking a deep breath, enjoying yourself and recharging your batteries.
