From September 18 to 21, 2025, the South Tyrolean CleanUP Days will take place once again – a province-wide initiative to clean up our natural environment together.
As a GSTC-certified holiday region, it is especially important to us in the Dolomites Three Peaks region to send a strong message of lived sustainability and active environmental protection.
Our nature gives us quality of life every day – now it’s time to give something back.
Join in – as a guest, business, association, group of friends or on your own!
Get in touch with us – we’ll provide you with all the information you need to take part!
In my long career as a fashion photographer, travel has always been a fundamental and exciting part of my work. I’ve worked in many different places—from Peru to Australia, the United States to India—facing challenges like high altitudes, difficult weather conditions, and unusual means of transport. With my team—comprising stylists, models, and assistants—I have always tried to tell stories of fashion through unique landscapes and cities.
This exhibition, hosted at the Hans Glauber Library in Toblach, presents a selection of my photographs that not only showcase fashion but also share the adventures I experienced during my travels. I am happy to share my work with the public and hope that the exhibition will entertain and inspire all who visit.
— Giovanni Lunardi
On August 22, 1925, Max Glauber founded the company UNDA Radio in Dobbiaco.
The anniversary exhibition showcases radio models from various eras and traces the development of the company.
An interactive area demonstrates that the “heart” (or “Hertz”) of analog radio technology is still beating:
Representatives of the Radio Museum Association of South Tyrol offer insights into the inner workings of historic radio devices and host a weekly repair café.
Art meets history: an exciting joint exhibition with artists from Val Gardena/Gröden to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the SS hostages in Villabassa.
Artistic creation, whether in wood, on canvas or through photography, as a fragile fragment of freedom.
Dolomythos-Museum at Innichen presents: Women scientists
Many women, hardly mentioned in earlier times, made important contributions. We honour these often forgotten personalities, as well as the reserches of ordinary people from the valleys.
On Friday, 19 September 2025, from 6:30 PM, another musical highlight of the “Sexten Mountain & Music” series will take place at the restraurant Zin Fux.
Damian and Marc captivate with accordion and guitar, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere with traditional music.
