The scheme to promote mountaineering villages in the Alpine regions supports environmentally-friendly, natural tourism.

The living traditions and customs offer you an insight into the active village community, and a stop-off to wander round the castle ruins at the entrance to the village brings the dreaded Matsch robber-barons back to fearsome life.
