Holidays in Kastelbell-Tschars

Due to the idyllic and unique nature landscape – rich in contrast – the villages of Kastelbell and Tschars rank among the most popular destinations for epicures, who would like to spend their holidays in the western part of South Tyrol.

The natural landscapes along Etsch river in Vinschgau make this varied place incomparable. The municipality of Kastelbell and Tschars has about 2,400 inhabitants, living partly also in the other districts Galsaun, Juval with Messner's castle and Trumsberg on the left side of the valley as well as Marein, Latschinig, Freiberg and Tomberg on the right side. The wide bottom of the valley is surrounded by two contrasting mountain crests: the forested and shady Nörderberg and the sunny Sonnenberg.
