Autumn

Autumn

In Bolzano, autumn is synonymous with Törggelen, new wine and food markets. It is harvest season, when the days begin to get shorter and the weather cooler, the slopes turn orange and the air smells of grape harvests.

Tractors laden with grapes drive through the town, spreading the feeling of harvest everywhere. The aroma of must wafts from the wine cellars, which organize numerous guided tours with tastings.

A walk through the woods, ending at a "Buschenschank", is the perfect opportunity to discover the tradition of Törggelen and enjoy typical country dishes prepared with seasonal and 0 km products.

Autumn events not to be missed:

The Long Night of the Bolzano Museums

In 2002, the South Tyrolean Museum of Archaeology and the Museum of Nature South Tyrol first had the idea to organize a Long Night, meanwhile this event belongs to Bolzano, such as the Walther statue or the Christmas market. Ten museums of the city provide a varied, culturally rich entertainment until the night with a colorful program and free admission. The event is supported by "Landesmuseen" and "Stiftung Sparkasse".


The next edition of the Long Night of the Bolzano Museums will take place this time on 6 October 2023. The event is coordinated by Betrieb Landesmuseen.

Thanksgiving

A traditional feast to celebrate the end and success of the harvest! A tradition that conquers not only the mountain villages, but also the urban reality, animating Walther Square with stalls offering a wide range of autumn products. 

Organized by the Bauernbund, the South Tyrolean farmers' union, in mid-October around forty growers and farmers bring fruit and vegetables, juices and syrups, herbs and spirits, cheeses and cured meats from their fields for you to taste and buy.

And while parents are busy discovering farming life by chatting with exhibitors and tasting speck and chestnuts, children can throw themselves into piles of hay where they can play and admire and caress farm animals!

Bolzano Bozen City Trail

An event that combines taste and sport

A unique opportunity to discover the city from an unusual point of view, the sporting one. The route runs along the Guncina and St. Osvaldo promenades, which climb gently up the surrounding slopes to reveal an enchanting panorama. For all trail runners there is a particularly challenging route this year, which runs along a beautiful forest path towards the Renon.
