Discover Pineta: Trails, Culture and Landscape

Pineta: trails, orchards and culture

Pineta, also known as Steinmannwald, is surrounded by orchards. Wine and apple growing play an important role in the village. There are also specific opportunities for exercise and culture: signposted trails, a sports area, a playground, a church with an unusual bell tower, and an announced theatre series. To decide whether Pineta is right for your trip, consider whether hiking and cycling, sports facilities, culture or the agriculturally shaped surroundings matter most to you. The village brings together these different highlights, which you can assess by looking at specific routes, places and seasonal details.

Hiking and mountain biking

Trail No. 12A starts in Pineta and leads directly to the Albergo Rechtebner. There it crosses the Laives high-altitude trail, Trail No. 12. The numbers refer to different routes: No. 12A is the trail that starts in Pineta, while No. 12 is the high-altitude trail it crosses by the Albergo. This makes it easy to distinguish the starting point, crossing point and trail number.

A mountain-bike tour also starts in Pineta, goes via Aslago and Colle, and reaches La Costa. Unlike Trail No. 12A, it is described by this sequence of places; its destination is La Costa, whereas No. 12A leads to the Albergo Rechtebner. The two routes therefore share a starting point, but not the stated destination. When choosing between a hike and a mountain-bike tour, the type of route, its course and its destination are useful points of comparison. Check the trails locally; conditions on the mountain-bike route may change.

Sport and trails in the village

The sports area in Pineta has two tennis courts and a padel court. This makes court sports different from hiking and mountain biking: the tennis and padel courts are located in the village, while the tours are described by their starting point, route and destination. When comparing activities for your stay, you can distinguish between fixed sports facilities and the routes described here.

The redesigned Brennerstraße in Pineta includes a park, as well as a footpath and a cycle path. This description complements the tour information but is structured differently: the street description identifies a park, footpath and cycle path, while the routes are described by their starting point, course and destination. For orientation, you can therefore distinguish the paths along Brennerstraße from the specifically described hiking and mountain-bike routes.

Pineta Playground is on Via Brennero and gives children the chance to play outdoors on several pieces of play equipment. It is a separate option from the tennis and padel courts: the sports area has two tennis courts and a padel court, while the playground is designed for free outdoor play. If you are travelling with children, you can include this named location in your plans.

Culture and architecture

The Church of San Giuseppe in Pineta has an unusual reinforced-concrete bell tower that reflects the modern architecture of the period in which it was built.

The “Teatro in Pineta” series has been announced for its 27th edition in the 2026/2027 season. If you would like to plan your stay around it, check the specific event dates; the information refers to the season of this edition. On the Teatro delle Muse booking page, you can access online ticket purchases. These details answer different planning questions: for “Teatro in Pineta,” the announced season is relevant; for Teatro delle Muse, it is the option to buy tickets online.
