A thick layer of snow lies on the shingle roofs of the rustic wooden huts, while melting snow drips from the tower of the tiny Marienkirche church, otherwise all is silent. The unique Alpine farm village lies in a valley hollow in the rear of the Valsertal valley in the Gitschberg-Jochtal Alpine-pasture region: Wrapped in glittering white, it is even more picturesque than in summer, when cows graze up here and the Alpine meadows are cultivated. Seeing the Fane Alm Alpine farm village in the middle of winter is a worthwhile insider tip for families and those seeking solitude. This Alpine farm village can be reached after a one-hour, leisurely hike from the parking lot of the valley station of the Jochtal ski area near Vals/Valles. After a visit to the mountain hut to warm up and enjoy, you have the option to continue exploring the fairytale landscape on touring skis, conquer nearby peaks like the Plattspitze, or glide back down to the valley on the toboggan you brought with you.
