Holidays in the Schnals Valley

You reach the Schnals Valley through are narrow rocky gorge near Castle Juval in Vinschgau Valley. Here are situated very old farms, the monastery Allerengelsberg ans the great Schnalstal glaciers, where you can ski all around the year.

The five idyllic villages Katharinaberg, Karthaus, Unser Frau, Vernagt and Kurzras all share the high mountain valley and its steep slopes. While the options for hiking in the Texel Mountains or on the glacier are countless, a favourite outing destination is the place where the mummy of the Hauslabjoch, Ötzi the Iceman was discovered.

Take also a ride on the glacier with the Ötzi Express, past moraines and crevices right up to the magnificent glacier cave. A unique spectacle awaits you there: a light display inside the glacier.

Active holidays in Schnals

For sportive people the Schnalstal is particularly fun: you can ski on the 35 slopes of the Schnalstal glacier basically all year round. In winter, a well developed net of cross-country ski runs offers many different runs, hiking routes, snow-shoe hikes and much more.

In summer the rural scenery, the industrious people and the difficult conditions will cast their spells on you. The high mountain fauna also has its own magic, in the Pfossental, a side valley to the Schnalstal, three eagle couples nest.

The Schnalstal in South Tyrol is sure to whisk you away to a very special, almost forgotten world of nature and peace!
