Val Venosta Valley

Striking contrasts abound in Val Venosta, from the realm of ‘King’ Ortler, the highest peak in the eastern Alps, to Südtirol’s driest and sunniest microclimate in the central valley. Discover pretty Glorenza, the smallest ‘city’ in the Alps, the Stilfserjoch National Park, the many castles overlooking the valley, steppe vegetation on the Sonnenberg, ancient irrigation trenches crossing the dry mountainsides in lush green strips, orchards, vineyards and plenty more.
