School classes at Trauttmansdorff

A day between nature and culture.

We look forward to welcoming you to Trauttmansdorff, and hope you enjoy your visit!

Important: Please register your school class visit in advance, even if no guided tour is booked, as only a limited number of school groups are admitted per day.

During the season, the gardens and the Touriseum offer educational and guided tours for primary, middle, and high school classes, as well as vocational schools. These activities include hands-on crafting, experimentation, and serve to enhance the understanding of the respective subject matter in the classroom.

FAQ

Tips for an entertaining and relaxing visit 

What you need to bring on a day in Trauttmansdorff?
Appropriate outdoor clothing: Good shoes, warm clothing: even in spring and autumn, since the garden is shaded and stays cold for most of the morning hours. Cushion for sitting on the lawn, or stone steps during activity breaks. Water bottle for refilling at the fountains. Writing utensils needed for didactic activities.
How do I get to Trauttmansdorff?
In the menu item "How to get there" you will find all the relevant information.
How does admission work for school classes and student groups?
While you collect the tickets at the ticket office, the group can wait on the bus or in front of the visitor center. In case of a large crowd at the ticket office, please feel free to approach our staff at the info point. You can distribute the tickets to the students before entering and then proceed as a group through the group/online ticket gate.
Have you booked a guided tour or didactic activity?
The ticket office will inform you of the exact meeting point on the day of your visit. Any delays in arrival should be reported to the ticket office as soon as possible (Call +39 0473 255620). Please note that in the event of late arrival, we cannot always guarantee your existing booking. Cancellations, and changes of schedule are accepted – but no later than 5 working days before the date of reservation. Didactic activities and guided tours usually terminate within the Trauttmansdorff grounds. Allow an extra 10-15 minutes at the end of your visit to reach the exit on foot.
Who is entitled to free admission?
Bus drivers, teachers and youth group leaders get free admission and guided tours if they supervise a group of children.

ORIENTATION IN THE GARDENS

Barrier-free complex
All of the walkways – except for the panoramic trail that leads to the “Matteo Thun’s Binoculars” – can be accessed by wheelchairs and children’s pushchairs. The trails that do have architectural barriers are indicated by stairs or by a sign indicating that wheelchairs are not allowed. Electric wheelchairs can be booked in advance, and are free of charge. Pupils with disabilities are charged the same entry fee as everyone else, and are entitled to an assistant at no extra cost. Kindly ask for an info sheet containing all the relevant information.
Many washrooms throughout the area
The grounds are well served by various rest areas, indicated on the information flyer and at every crossing. There are washrooms also at the Visitor Centre and after the footbridge (close to the main entrance) on the left. We suggest using the latter structure because the rest rooms of the Visitor Centre are usually crowded.
Where does what bloom?
The flora in the Gardens vary almost from one week to the next. In the calendar you can check where the most blooming floral areas are.
Walking circuits and panoramic trails
Free orientation maps are issued on entry, marking the four trail circuits and panoramic paths. After crossing over the pedestrian bridge, you’ll come to an illustrated info board showing an overview of the Trauttmansdorff gardens. Along the paths are also bulletin boards, with specific information about the various zones.
