SkyAlps’ direct flights from London Gatwick to Bolzano open the doors to one of Europe’s most enchanting autumn destinations: South Tyrol in northern Italy. In just two hours, travellers can immerse themselves in the golden glow of the Dolomites, where crisp mountain air, colourful landscapes and rich traditions define the season.

Autumn in South Tyrol: a feast for the senses


When summer fades, South Tyrol transforms into a painter’s masterpiece. Vineyards and larch forests turn shades of gold, red and amber, while the peaks of the Dolomites are crowned with the season’s first dustings of snow. It’s the perfect time for leisurely hikes along panoramic trails, scenic cycling tours through rolling vineyards, or even more adventurous mountain bike rides in the high valleys.

Unmissable food and wine in South Tyrol

Equally, autumn is harvest season. The traditional Törggelen invites guests into rustic farmhouses to taste roasted chestnuts, homemade sausages, hearty dumplings and premium wines. This centuries-old custom blends Alpine warmth with culinary indulgence, creating memories that linger long after the journey home.

Wellness, culture and charming towns


For those seeking peace, South Tyrol’s many spa resorts offer the ideal retreat. Warm saunas, panoramic pools and soothing treatments provide balance against the fresh autumn air.

The golden light in the Dolomites in autumn

Meanwhile, South Tyrol’s small towns – from Bolzano with its medieval arcades, to Bressanone, Merano and Brunico – invite visitors to stroll, shop and soak up the local charm. Add to that the region’s castles, colourful markets and lively harvest festivals, and autumn becomes an especially rich time to visit.
