Summer Holiday in the Sunny Venosta Valley in South Tyrol

Holiday in the Vinschgau – Where Nature and Culture Meet

Thanks to its inner-alpine climate, the Vinschgau / Venosta Valley is considered the driest valley in the Alps. This unique climate brings many sunny days and creates a special natural landscape, making the region perfect for a summer holiday in South Tyrol.

The Vinschgau is particularly famous for its historic “Waalwege” irrigation trails. These paths once served to distribute water to the agricultural fields and today form a unique network of scenic hiking routes.

They are ideal for relaxed panoramic walks and enjoyable hikes, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding South Tyrolean mountains and the Stelvio National Park region.

Beyond its beautiful nature, the cultural life of the Vinschgau / Venosta Valley is equally remarkable.
Picturesque villages line the valley, each with its own charm and centuries-old traditions.

One of the most fascinating places is the medieval town of Glurns, famous for its well-preserved city walls.
As an important trading center, Glurns received its town charter in 1304 and today proudly holds the title of the smallest town in the Alps.

Walking through its narrow streets feels like stepping back in time.
Historic buildings, small artisan shops and traditional South Tyrolean culture give the town its unique medieval atmosphere.

The Vinschgau / Venosta Valley therefore offers a wonderful combination of:

• sunny alpine landscapes
• historic villages and castles
• scenic hiking routes
• authentic South Tyrolean culture
• untouched nature around the Stelvio National Park
• ideal destination for a relaxing and active holiday in South Tyrol
