Discover Ritten barrier-free

Accessible experiences on the sunny plateau above Bolzano


On the sunny plateau above Bolzano, visitors with different needs can experience nature, culture and leisure activities in a comfortable way. A range of facilities and services are designed to make the landscape accessible for guests with reduced mobility, families with prams and older visitors using walking aids.

The barrier-free journey begins in Bolzano: the Ritten Cable Car provides a direct connection between the city and Oberbozen, offering easy access to the plateau. The historic Ritten Railway, together with selected walking paths and hiking routes, allows visitors to explore the landscape at a relaxed pace.

Accessible nature trails, the public swimming pools in Oberbozen and Klobenstein, and family-friendly attractions offer a variety of experiences. In winter, the special “ice glider” at the Ritten Arena enables wheelchair users to enjoy the ice together with family and friends.

With accessible transport options, facilities and leisure activities, Ritten creates spaces where people of different ages and mobility levels can experience the mountain landscape, local culture and hospitality of the sunny plateau.
