that you often and gladly reminisce about.
San Genesio/Jenesien is located on the sunny side of life and the Monzoccolo/Tschögglberg. The mountain village has the most hours of sunshine in South Tyrol, which of course makes it particularly popular among hikers and explorers. The changing of the seasons in San Genesio/Jenesien is especially breathtaking, when autumn transforms the region into a sea of colours, when spring causes the flowers to bloom, and when winter covers the mountains with a white blanket.
