HIKING

Step by step towards the heights of happiness. When you’re on foot the countryside goes by more slowly than usual, giving you time to gaze in awe at all the wonders of nature of the Dolomites, UNESCO world heritage centre.

Swimming In The Lake

Sometimes a deep blue and sometimes a green reflection of the surrounding countryside, always and ever packed with variety: Rowing boots, surf boards and air mattresses are all equally at home here.

Culture

Mediterranean and Alpine. Alongside fascinating museums and buildings steeped in history, the culture of everyday life here in the most northerly part of Italy is endlessly fascinating in itself. One often hears the questions: “What’s German and what’s Italian?” This trilingual region brings together the very best of all the cultures that live here.

MUSEUM TIP

Mmm Messner Mountain Museums Sigmundskron Castle

Rising high on porphyry cliff just 3 km from here you will see Sigmundskron Castle, one of the largest castles & grounds in Südtirol I Alto Adige not to mention home to one of the 5 Messner Mountain Museums (MMM). The centrepiece of the Messner Mountain Museums, MMM Firmian at Sigmundskron Castle, illustrates the relationship between man and the mountains. These ancient walls at Sigmundskron Castle, complemented by a contemporary steel and glass structure, are the heart of the entire museum concept. The museum houses pictures, sculptures, symbolic artefacts and relics which convey the true meaning of the relationship between man and the mountains. MMM Firmian is a unique place with incredible views, both inside and out. The museum and castle grounds are open from the third Sunday in March through to the second Sunday in November. Closed on Thursdays.

Hiking On The Wine Trail

The wine trail was strategically created in the shape of an eight, with its crossing point at the PUNKT Winehouse on the village market square, and leads you past vineyards and wine estates all the way to Lake Kaltern. White limestone road markers provide information on the unique names of the vineyards - such as Puntara and Palurisch, Salt and Plantaditsch. There are four resting stops along the way, marked by bronze plated information tables.
