In 1917, the mudslide at Insom below the Pic mountain broke loose for the first time.  Two buildings and a barn were buried under the mass of loose rock, mud and snow. Fortunately, there were no fatalities. 24 years later, in the spring of 1951, the Insom mudslide threatened the village of St. Christina for the second time. The mudslide followed in the footsteps of the 1917 mudslide and at the Insom farmstead, where it dug deep into the ground, beams, floorboards and foundation walls (remains of the buildings buried in 1917) were visible again for some time. It was only thanks to the energetic efforts of the fire brigade that a major catastrophe was prevented.

History of the shop Butëiga dal Pan Hofer - Local specialties

For many generations, the traditional business of the Hotel Snaltnerhof offers typical local products and delicious homemade bread

The history of the business Butëiga dal Pan Hofer begins 150 years ago with 2 servants from Barbiano, Christian the baker and Hans the miller. The brothers Hofer came to Val Gardena to work for the local baker. A few years later they bought a house on the S. Antonio Square and named it after their farm in Barbiano, the Snaltnerhof. First, they led the yard together, but after Hans got married and became farmer, he left the company to Christian who had a knack for business and therefore became mayor after a few years. This records the early history of the Snaltner, the bakers on the Antonius Square for generations.  

At the beginning of the 20th century, the bread was baked in the lower basement and sold from house to house. Thanks to the growing tourism and the ongoing prosperity during the Austro-Hungarian Empire good years reigned. The period of poverty began with the First World War, but the Snaltnerhof was able to continue the operation. Even fascism brought difficult times, the flour was scarce so mush was mixed with it. The dark years of the Option and the Second World War followed. However, the bakery Snaltnerhof worked continuously since bread was needed at any time. Even the German military bought the bread for the hospital in Ortisei from the Snaltnerhof. After the 2nd World War the tide turned. In the 50s and 60s, the economy and tourism began to flourish. The Snaltnerhof acquired an iron stove, rebuilt the house and expanded it. Soon bread was sold in over 15 varieties.  

In addition to the 25 types of bread, today the shop "Butëiga dal Pan Hofer" offers all kinds of national delicacies as well as specialties from the South Tyrol tradition.   The business Butëiga dal Pan Hofer isn’t only a business and a job, but it is part of the long tradition of the Hofer family.

St. Jacob’s Church San Giacomo’s Church, dedicated to the patron saint of pilgrims and travellers, is traditionally known as the oldest church in Val Gardena: its origins date back to the 12th century. | It is located right above Ortisei, along the ancient path, “Troi Paian”. From Ortisei you can reach the idyllic , sunny hamlet comfortably by ski- or summer bus or by car. Here you are surrounded by nature and you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view. After a 15-minute walk (slightly uphill) you will arrive to the San Giacomo Church. Alternatively, you can start from Ortisei and take a slightly sloping trail (Path of Dialogue), which takes you to the San Giacomo Church in about an hour. Another beautiful circular walk connects S. Cristina (Plesdinaz) with the church. The current overall appearance is Gothic, and the inside is part Gothic and part Baroque. The church features remarkable frescoes (late 15th century) in the presbytery. Wall paintings from the 16th century, illustrating the legend of San Giacomo (St. James), decorate the area near the pulpit. The local wood-carving tradition is represented in the main altar. Around 1750 the Vinazer-Pescosta brothers decorated it with spiral columns, gilded images of ancient church leaders, apostles and angels. The current sculptures and artwork on the main altar are replicas made by local carvers. The originals are on display at the Val Gardena Museum in Ortisei.

GUIDED TOURS to the church weekly in Winter and Summer. Reservation and more details at the Tourist Office Ortisei.

Since 2000, the world's largest nativity scene has been displayed in the Iman Sports Centre in S. Cristina. The project is beeing carried out by a group of 18 sculptors. It was initiated in 1998 with the first statue being that of the Holy Mary with Baby Jesus. Creativity, sensibility, sense of art and skill fostered the idea: St. Joseph, the Magi, a shepherd, a donkey, three sheep, an Angel and a camel are now part of the scene, and the family continues to grow year after year.
