Racines-Giovo sits in a side valley near Vipiteno, a few minutes south of the Brenner pass, and its main quality is that almost nobody stops here — the traffic on the motorway below is heading somewhere more famous.

What that leaves is a well-groomed, modern, quiet mountain with the South Tyrolean standard of piste preparation and none of the queues.

Racines-Giovo: common questions

Why choose Racines-Giovo over the bigger South Tyrol resorts?

For the absence of everyone else. It sits in a side valley near Vipiteno, a few minutes south of the Brenner, and almost all the traffic on the motorway below is heading somewhere more famous — so you get South Tyrolean grooming with no queues. For a first week that is worth more than a big piste map, and it is easy to reach: Innsbruck is around an hour, and Vipiteno has a railway station.
