Those who instead want to turn the layover into a mountain interlude, with a few days to spare, can go up to the Renon plateau, connected to Bolzano by the historic cable car in just 12 minutes: a scenic alternative, but one to skip if there's little time between two flights or you're travelling without a car.

Single terminal, extremely small and welcoming, with almost instantaneous boarding and disembarking times.

Given the compact size of the facility, from check-in to gate you walk in very few minutes, and security control queues are generally minimal even during peak ski season periods.

Served by a limited offering of airlines and charters, with seasonal increases during winter months for ski season.
