Splitting the journey up, relaxed style
We've deliberately split the outward journey into two stages, so today it's only around four hours' driving.
Arrive in Schwaz after the drive, settle in comfortably and enjoy your first evening in the mountains.
This is where your trip begins. Set off in the morning so you can manage the first stage without any rush.
A quiet, well-kept campsite in the Inn Valley with an electricity hook-up, making it a good first stopover before the Alps. From here you can round off the evening by the river or with a stroll through the small silver-mining town of Schwaz. Level pitches, no problem for a large motorhome.
Motorway instead of hairpin bends
A short stage, so you can enjoy a swim in the natural bathing lake in the afternoon.
Brixen is easy to reach without the motorhome: cycle or take the bus instead of driving into the old town.
The Brenner Pass is the only Alpine crossing you'll take with the large motorhome that's completely relaxed: a continuous motorway, no hairpin bends, and a moderate gradient. Perfect for rolling gently into South Tyrol.
A modern, year-round campsite with a natural bathing lake, sauna and generously sized pitches with electricity, ideal for a first quiet day in South Tyrol. A cycle path leads from the site along the Eisack river all the way into the pretty episcopal town of Brixen. Water and swimming are right on your doorstep.
Booking ahead is often cheaper here
Market, town and relaxation
A rest day to settle in: town and market in the morning, relaxing at the site in the afternoon.
The weekly market in Brixen runs regularly, great for stocking up on supplies.
Brixen is one of Tyrol's oldest towns, with arcaded lanes, a cathedral and a lively weekly market. At the market you'll find South Tyrolean speck, cheese and fresh fruit, perfect for restocking your supplies. Leave the motorhome at the campsite and get there by bike or bus.
The most famous mountain lake
A relaxed stage on a wide valley road, ideal for the large motorhome.
Toblach serves as your base for several excursions, and you'll stay four nights here.
A spacious campsite at the entrance to the Höhlensteintal with electricity, a wellness area and plenty of room even for long vehicles. From here you can reach the great Dolomite lakes comfortably, without having to drive tricky mountain roads yourself. An ideal base for the coming days.

Turquoise water and an alpine meadow walk
Set off early, as the lake gets very busy from late morning onwards.
The narrow valley road to the lake is not suitable for a 7.4-metre vehicle, so take the bus every time.
Pragser Wildsee is probably the best-known mountain lake in the Dolomites, deep green and nestled beneath the Seekofel. A flat circular path of around an hour leads all the way around the lake, perfect for families and leisurely walkers. Rowing boats can be hired by the hour.
Dolomite icons without your own pass drive
You'll take the bus up to the Tre Cime, which saves you the narrow toll road.
Head back to the campsite in Toblach in the afternoon to relax.
Lago di Misurina sits at 1,750 metres and reflects the surrounding peaks when the weather is calm. A comfortable, largely flat lakeside path of around two kilometres invites you to a leisurely stroll around it. From here you get one of the finest views of the Sorapiss group.
The Tre Cime are the emblem of the Dolomites, and an easy high-altitude trail leads from the Rifugio Auronzo to the famous view of the north face. The toll road up is steep and narrow, so leave the motorhome below and take the hiking bus instead. Up top, dramatic high-alpine scenery awaits, close enough to touch.
Cycling, water and market
A deliberate day of rest with no motorhome driving.
There's time in the afternoon for wellness or a swim at the campsite.
Innichen is a charming little town in the upper Val Pusteria with a Romanesque collegiate church and cosy cafés. The Val Pusteria cycle path leads here from Toblach, flat and traffic-free, ideal for a relaxed day on two wheels. Small shops and a weekly market invite you to browse.
The alpine meadows of the Seiser Alm
We take the relaxed valley route rather than the Grödnerjoch, which is hard going for long vehicles.
A slightly longer stage today, but you'll then stay three nights in one place.
An award-winning campsite at the foot of the Schlern with generous pitches, electricity, a panoramic pool and wellness facilities. From here you head straight to Europe's largest high-alpine meadow, the Seiser Alm. An excellent base for alpine walks and peaceful mountain evenings.

Europe's largest high-alpine meadow
The alpine meadow is closed to private cars, so you take the cable car up in comfort.
Choose a flat route between mountain huts and allow plenty of time for a stop to eat.
The Seiser Alm is a vast, gently rolling alpine plateau set against the backdrop of the Schlern and Langkofel. Countless easy to moderate paths lead from hut to hut, where you'll find fresh milk, Kaiserschmarrn and cheese. Perfect for an enjoyable day's walking with no steep climbs.
Mirror lake and relaxation
A half-day trip to Karersee, then back to swim at the site.
The SS241 through the Eggental is one of the few genuinely motorhome-friendly mountain roads in the region.
Karersee is famous for its glowing play of colours and the reflection of the Latemar in its clear water. A short, level circular path runs along the shore, ideal for a peaceful half-day outing. A destination that combines wonderfully with a stop for something to eat.
Palm trees, promenades and market
A relaxed stage down into the mild Adige Valley.
In Merano, leave the motorhome at the site and get into town by bike or bus.
A campsite close to town with electricity, a pool and good connections to the spa town of Merano. From here you can reach the famous Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle and the mild promenades along the Passer river. A pleasant contrast to the heights of the Dolomites.

Gardens, market and water
Your last full day in South Tyrol, with no driving stress at all.
Gardens in the morning, old town and market in the afternoon.
Terraced gardens with plants from all over the world spread out around Trauttmansdorff Castle, with views over Merano. The paths are well laid out and invite you to a relaxed half-day visit. Inside the castle, the Touriseum tells the story of Tyrolean tourism.
Merano's arcaded lanes offer shade, shops and South Tyrolean specialities. At the market and in the delicatessens you'll find speck, wine and fresh fruit from the Adige Valley. A good place to stock up on supplies for the journey home.
The sunken bell tower
The Reschen Pass is wide and manageable for long vehicles, which is why we choose it for the return journey.
Around three hours of actual driving time today, with plenty of time for a photo stop at the lake.
The bell tower of the sunken village of Graun rises out of Reschensee, one of the most famous photo spots in the Alps. A flat lakeside path leads right up to the water. The Reschen Pass itself is a wide, well-built road and easy to drive with the motorhome.
A well-equipped campsite near Landeck with electricity and level pitches, handy for the last night before heading home. From here it's just a manageable stage back to Nürnberg. A peaceful spot in the Inn Valley to recharge.
Journey home
The final stage, under five hours, with a longer break along the way.
Set off early to avoid the afternoon traffic around Munich.
Return to the starting point of your trip. You'll roll home comfortably via the Inntal motorway and the A9, with plenty of pictures of mountain lakes and alpine meadows in your luggage.
