Culture and art on Renon
Summer holidays, summer theatre, bee museum and fêtes
Renon offers culture at its best! Already in the 13th century pilgrims travelled to Rome via Renon: The commandery of Longomoso testifies to this. Later city dwellers built their summer residence here in lofty heights and “summer freshness” summer holidays became fashionable. For the comfort of visitors a railway was built and for their entertainment the Renon summer theatre was created. Tradition and culture can also be experienced at church holidays and fêtes. The sun plateau of Renon offers plenty of culture to experience and enjoy!
Historic Renon railway
Historic Renon railway
Since 1907 the Renon railway has taken guests from Piazza Walther in the centre of Bolzano directly to the top of Renon. The narrow gauge railway is the last of its kind in South Tyrol and runs between Soprabolzano and Collalbo. Some of its carriages are historic, some are modern. The ride is worth it for its breathtaking views of the Dolomites alone. A modern cable car takes you every four minutes to Bolzano.

As early as around 1576, at the time of the Black Death, many citizens of Bolzano spent the summer in their summer residences on Renon, especially the ladies and children. Nor did the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie from the Vienna region and the former Crown colonies shy away from the long journey, travelled on the Southern railway to Val Pusteria and on to Bolzano and Renon.
