If you choose spending some regenerating days in Vals, you should absolutely discover the surrounding landscape of mountains and pastures with breath-taking views.
In the north, Vals is delimited by the Pfunders mountains protecting the are from winds and dark clouds too and guaranteeing a relatively pleasant climate. In summer, the valley is a paradise for passionate mountaineers and outdoor fans, offering cosy trekking paths, interesting cycle paths or moderate and challenging mountain tours.
Spring, summer, autumn & winter
One of the most popular excursion destinations is, without any doubt, Brixner hut, the large high-alpine route of Pfunders and the over 3,000 m high peak Mt. Wilde Kreuzspitze. Vals is a paradise not only in summer. In fact, the nearby Gitschberg Jochtal ski area is a winter sports paradise with beautiful ski runs and cross-country ski runs, toboggan runs and inviting huts.
And in autumn, you can see the traditional transhumance, when shepherds and their herds return to the valley with a big celebration.
