The ‘MMM Firmian’ is the largest of six Messner Mountain Museums. It is situated in the Sigmundskron Castle, perched on a hill overlooking the city of Bolzano. This museum is dedicated to the exploration of the mountains and their importance throughout history.
The Three Peaks of Lavaredo consist of three peaks rising along the south-eastern border of the Zillertal Alps. The hiking trails are well-maintained, safe and accessible for families. The landscape is stunning with curious flora and fauna species.
One of the most picturesque lakes in Italy, Lake Braies is a family-friendly destination. The calm and crystal-clear waters are well-suited for swimming, boating and fishing. Visitors can follow a path around the lake, or hike the Prato Piazza plateau for amazing views of the Dolomites.
This itinerary can be adjusted based on the interests of the family. Consider staying in a local agriturismo to experience South Tyrolean family life. If travelling with younger children, swap the Three Peaks of Lavaredo for playing in the Klausberg Adventure Park. For extra adventure, consider going horse riding at the Haflinger’s breeding centre in Merano, or visiting the Messner Mountain Museum Corones.
