What defines Croatia as a beach destination from Bolzano?
At 1h 15min, Brač is the fastest-reachable sea destination from Bolzano — and the airport lies on the island itself.
The Dalmatian coast has traditionally been reachable by car from South Tyrol, which takes six to eight hours depending on traffic. The direct flight to Brač cuts that to 1h 15min — and because the airport lies on the island, the ferry from Split is skipped too, otherwise the usual and time-consuming route. From Bolzano, you're at your hotel in just over two hours, luggage included.
Brač is Croatia's third-largest island, but markedly quieter than the region's better-known destinations. It is known for its white limestone, from which — among other buildings — Diocletian's Palace in Split was built, and for the Zlatni Rat near Bol, the pebble spit that changes shape with the wind.
The beaches are mostly pebble, the water correspondingly clear. Water shoes make sense, because underwater stones can be slippery. Behind most bays stand pine trees that provide shade — a practical advantage with small children. In many spots pine forests reach almost down to the water.
What does Brač offer?
The island is manageable. The south around Bol has the best-known beaches and most infrastructure; the north around Supetar is quieter and closer to the ferry to Split. Inland lie villages, old quarries and Vidova Gora.

Which flights are available from Bolzano to Croatia?
SkyAlps flies direct from Bolzano to Brač (summer only) — flight time 1h 15min. All prices are per person and include return flights plus nights at the booked hotel.
When is the best time to visit Croatia?
The season runs from May to October. In May the island is green and empty, but the sea is still fresh — for children usually too cold. June is one of the best months: warm, swimmable and still quiet. July and August bring temperatures above 30°C and the most visitors, especially in Bol; Croats travel domestically during the school holidays. September is our recommendation: warm sea, mild days, fewer visitors and lower prices. October remains mild but the first hotels start to close. From November to April SkyAlps does not fly the route.
Frequently asked questions
By car from South Tyrol to Split it's six to eight hours depending on traffic, plus the ferry to the island, which can add more hours depending on connections.
The direct flight takes 1 hour 15 minutes, the transfer another 30 — you're at the hotel in just over two hours instead of a whole travel day. For a week's stay, this changes the balance decisively: less strain on arrival and departure, more days in the sea.
