The new South Tyrol
Guest Pass
Sustainable holidays in Kaltern
As a premiere holiday destination, both Kaltern
and South Tyrol as a whole attach great importance
to the concept of sustainability. With the
new Guest Pass now introduced throughout
South Tyrol, our guests can make use of all public
transportation systems in the südtirolmobil
combined system – including the Mendel Funicular
in Kaltern. This Guest Pass is a guest card
which is already included in the regular room
price of participating lodging establishments.
Make sure to look for the corresponding icon in
the attached list of inns, bed & breakfasts, and
hotels. Your name and the duration of your stay
are written on the reverse side of the South Tyrol
Guest Pass. The services and discounts to which
you are entitled can be claimed for the duration
of your vacation stay. The South Tyrol Guest
Pass must be validated when beginning each
individual trip.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Good connections
Kaltern can be reached from the
provincial capital of Bozen by bus in
15-minute intervals. Within Kaltern,
you can take the City Bus and/or
the Lake Bus and Hiking Bus. In the
summertime, the City Bus provides
extended service – until 10:00 p.m. –
on Thursdays.
SUSTAINABILITY
Guest Pass – variants
The Guest Pass not only provides you
with extra mobility but can contain
also a package of additional services,
for example admission to museums,
selected wine services, or a combination
of both, depending on the variant
your accommodations offers
A BIT OF HISTORY
The Mendel Funicular
With a slope of 64%, the Mendel
Funicular, which opened in 1903, was
once regarded as the steepest and
longest continuous funicular in Europe.
This masterpiece of engineering
has survived over a century and is
still a technical monument of international
interest.
