Ride tours & Törggelen in South Tyrol

Törggelen – customs from South Tyrol

Törggelen is an old South Tyrolean custom that was cultivated by farmers and wine merchants and is still very popular among all walks of life. The period in which the Törggelen is offered extends from the end of September to the Advent season.

In autumn, because chestnuts, fresh wine and hearty sour meat are tasted at Törggelen. These culinary delights are in season at this time of the year. Klein Fein Hotel Leitner combines this tradition and the wonderful South Tyrolean autumn landscape with motorsport fun and offers you selected day tours on South Tyrolean mountain roads with alternative routes that you cannot simply “google”.

From this valley, the path later leads us into the Sarntal, the largest municipality in South Tyrol in terms of area. Over the Penser Joch and a tunnel-rich journey
we start our way home to the Hotel Leitner.

tour day 4

Tour: Vipiteno – Jaufenpass – Timmelsjoch – individual journey home

For the “journey home”, we have worked out a suggestion for an individual plan of the day: start by touring to Sterzing and then driving up the Jaufenpass. This takes you to St. Leonhard in the Passeier Valley, where the German national soccer team prepared for the 2014 World Cup. Afterwards you drive up to the Timmelsjoch and everyone can continue their journey home individually. Of course, Helmut is helpful with great tips on routes.
