In Brief

Motorhome drivers crossing the Brenner Pass into Italy face significant fines due to a new lane control system on a specific section of the route. Ignorance of the change can lead to heavy financial losses.

Motorhome drivers heading to Italy via the Brenner Pass should check their route in advance and choose the correct lane. Selecting the wrong lane can result in substantial fines.

The new regulation on the approach to the Brenner is technically complex and still little known, but it can seriously impact travel budgets. Unawareness of these changes may lead to significant financial penalties. It is recommended to check the current road situation beforehand.

Camping in Carinthia: lakes, mountains and nature in southern Austria

Carinthia, in southern Austria near the Italian border, promotes camping as a nature-oriented holiday. The region has over 100 campsites and about 16,000 pitches for tents, motorhomes and caravans, plus glamping, cabins and apartments. Among more than 1,000 lakes, many are swimmable, with summer water temperatures exceeding 25 °C. Cycling routes, water sports and family activities are available. From Italy, Carinthia is reachable by car (about 2.5 hours from Venice), train or plane (from June 2026, flights from Rome to Klagenfurt).

Camping in Wechselland: tractor with caravan and Haflinger spotted at site

Irene Feldhofer, operator of 'Wechselland Camping Lorenza' in St. Lorenzen am Wechsel, regularly posts photos of unusual guests. Among them are a tractor towing a caravan, a Haflinger horse as a 'companion vehicle', and a Pinzgauer. The Joham family from Obdach travels with a car, trailer, roof tent, and ground tent; three people sleep in a 1.5-metre-wide roof tent. The campsite itself was built on the site of a former cattle shed, and its owners were nominated for the 'Vifzack 25' agricultural innovation award in 2025.
