Kaltern-Caldaro has long had a reputation of being a cycling paradise. It features a variety of routes suitable for beginners and experts. Through flat vineyards, around the lake, heading high up to the Mendel mountain or down to Lake Garda, towards Bozen-Bolzano, Meran-Merano or Brixen-Bressanone. One of the hosts enjoys accompanying guests to the prettiest spots around Kaltern-Caldaro.

The wine trail to Oberplanitzing starts not far from Torgglhof. This is a circular route that may be extended as far as the lake. Anyone seeking a spot to cool off in summer can walk to the Ice Holes. Ice-cold air wafts out of the hollows and niches beneath the large rocks even in summer.

The start of the 'Telefonsteig' route for fitter hikers, lies slightly further up above Torgglhof. It leads up to the upper terminal of the cable car. There are many wonderful walks and hikes around Torgglhof heading in all directions, such as the extensive Mendel area, just a few minutes' drive away.
