Campo di Trens: sports, castles and adventures for the whole family

Campo di Trens is located a few kilometres south of Sterzing, on the old Brenner road. The three villages of Maria Trens, Stilves and Mules, as well as the small hamlets in the area, are perfectly embedded in the natural surroundings.

Campo di Trens is one of the youngest municipalities in South Tyrol: it was founded in 1928, from the merger of Stilves and Trens. The village lies on the eastern slope of the Giovo di Trens, reaching as far as the state road leading to Bressanone and Vipiteno.

Several castles can be found on the territory of Campo di Trens, such as Castel Tasso, at the foot of which is a climbing wall, Castel Pietra, located opposite Castel Tasso and cannot be visited, and Castel Gulfo or Welfenstein (privately owned).

The Maria Trens Sanctuary, a popular pilgrimage destination, the St. Oswald Church, dating back to 1329, and the St. Peter the Apostle Church, the parish church of Stilves, are worth a visit.

Campo di Trens: what to do in summer and winter

Campo di Trens is a hiker's paradise with easy walks suitable for the whole family and challenging trails for the more experienced. Thrill-seekers can try their hand at rafting along the Isarco river. The emerald-green Pontelletto Lake, where the walls of the imposing Pennes Montaccio are reflected, is considered one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the Eisack Valley and a popular excursion destination.

The village is also crossed by the Brenner-Bozen cycle path, which is part of the famous Munich-Venice cycle path.

In winter, there are several skating rinks, toboggan runs, snowshoeing and ski touring trails. The Monte Cavallo-Vipiteno ski area is only a few minutes away from Campo di Trens and the cross-country skiing track in Val di Vizze is easily accessible.
