THE ADVANTAGE CARD GITSCHBERG JOCHTAL ALMENCARD

Car(e)-free holidays in South Tyrol


When checking into Aparthotels Panorama Living Dolomites, all guests receive a complimentary Gitschberg Jochtal Almencard. This is an advantage card that allows free and unlimited use of 9 different lift facilities (in selected periods) and free travel on all public transport throughout South Tyrol. Almencard holders also enjoy free admission to over 90 museums in South Tyrol, as well as the opportunity to participate in the well-rounded activity programme organised by the Gitschberg Jochtal Ski & Holiday Area. The Gitschberg mountain railway is just a few minutes' walk away from your luxury apartment at Panorama Living Dolomites and the station of the cable car connecting the villages of Meransen/Maranza and Mühlbach/Rio di Pusteria is also within walking distance. The cable car takes you to Mühlbach/Rio di Pusteria, from where busses and trains run regularly both into the direction of the Pustertal valley (next town: Bruneck/Brunico) and the Eisacktal valley (next town: Brixen/Bressanone). So you can enjoy an absolutely car(e)-free holiday!
