On one day we took the small train from Soprabolzano to Collalbo then the bus to Pemmern (you can also drive to Pemmern where there is a fee based car park) from where the chairlift takes you up to Schwarzseespitze. From here there is a relatively easy 50 minute circular walk with some fantastic panoramic views across the Dolomites. Unfortunately it was very hazy on the day we went. As a result the views weren't as good as those in the travel brochures. It then became very overcast and started to rain so we abandoned the additional 30 minute uphill walk to Corno del Renon. We were pleased we did so as shortly thereafter there was thunder and lightening and torrential rain and the path up to Corno del Renon from Schwarzseespitze is very exposed - no tree cover whatsoever. On another day we took the train and bus again but got off at Tann, the stop before Pemmern and took the No. 1 trail for about 10 minutes then the number 6 trail for about one hour 40 minutes back to Soprabolzano. This was an excellent path, mostly downhill, on wide gravel paths through the pine forests, except for perhaps the last 15 minutes when we passed an alpaca/llama farm and then entered into the outskirts of Soprabolzano. There were also a number of other very good shorter walks. Overall we found the walks to be very family/children friendly, certainly not as demanding as many of the walks/hikes in the Dolomites. Also all of the walks we undertook were exceptionally well signposted, certainly better than the walks we did in the Dolomites. Transport in Renon (Ritten in German) is also excellent, particularly as it appears to be a smaller area. We had a Ritten Pass which gave us free transport on the cable car from Bolzano to Soprabolzano, the trains and buses in Renon, the chairlift at Pemmern plus several museums in Bolzano including the "Otzi" museum and Roncolo castle.

Treno Renon

History stays alive on a train ride The day was August 13, the year 1907, when an important part of Renon’s history was written: the inauguration of the Railway Renon leading from the main square Piazza Walther in the heart of Bolzano directly to the plateau of Renon. The Railway Renon was designed on the model of Swiss mountain railways during the Belle Epoque. In 1966, the cog railway was shut down and a then modern cable car was built, connecting the city and the mountain from Bolzano to Soprabolzano. Meanwhile, the historic narrow-gauge railway still runs from Collalbo to Maria Assunta, operating partly with original cars and partly with more modern ones. It is the only one of its kind left in South Tyrol. The spectacular view of the Dolomites along the track is reason enough to catch a ride on this witness of past times. Plus, at every stop you can get off and start a hike on one of numerous trails leading right into the natural green of meadows and forests.

Rittner Erdpyramiden - Piramidi di Terra del Renon

Europe's tallest and most perfectly shaped earth pyramids are to be found on the Renon mountain in several locations: in the gorge of the Finsterbach creek between Longomoso and Monte di Mezzo, in the Katzenbach-creek gorge below Soprabolzano, and in the gorge of Gasters in Auna di Sotto. Earth pyramids consist of cone-shaped pillars formed by deposited clay and a boulder on top - they often form rather bizarre shapes, and tend to be shrouded in mystery. But there is an explanation for their existence. Earth pillars started forming from moraine clay soil left behind after the last Ice Age when the glaciers of the Valle d'Isarco covering the valley melted away. In dry condition the soil is hard as stone, but, as soon as it rains, it turns into a soft muddy mass, starts sliding, and so forms 10 to 15-meter-steep slopes. Through additional rainfall, these slopes will erode. However, where there are rocks in the muddy mass, the clay soil underneath these rocks stays protected from the rain. So, while the surrounding material is continually carried off with the weather, the protected pillars literally rise out of the ground to form majestic earth pyramids. It's hard to tell how long the formation of a full-blown earth pyramid actually takes, simply because it depends on too many factors. It's just as difficult to assert how old an earth pyramid might be or can get. What we can say for certain though is that the biggest and prettiest ones develop over the timespan of thousands of years. Once the boulder falls from its peak, an earth pyramid quickly bites the dust. When this happens, the material below is naked, exposed to the rain, and the pillar shrinks with every rainfall. While one earth pyramid vanishes through this process, a bit further up the slope the next one comes to life.

These are interesting geological formations and offer a nice hike from the Ritten train station station on hike-route 24. A great way to spend a morning or afternoon if you are in Bolzano. June 2018 costs are €10 for Ritten funicular from Bolzano (return) + €6 Ritten train (return).
