Fischleintal Valley: location

A side valley stretching between Moos and the entrance to the Three Peaks Nature Park, where the Fondovalle refuge (Talschlusshütte) offers spectacular views of the Sexten Sundial.

The Fischleintal Valley/Val Fiscalina starts in Moos/Moso, a hamlet of Sexten/Sesto, and runs lengthwise, with a slight elevation gain, up to the Fondovalle refuge (Talschlusshütte) at 1,548 m. Beloved for its expanses of meadows and forests and its flat terrain, this valley is accessible to all visitors in all seasons.

How to get to the Fischleintal Valley

To really appreciate the majesty of this area, it is worth leaving the car behind and adventuring on foot and by bike, or taking advantage of public transport.

To get to the Fischleintal Valley, you can set off from Innichen/San Candido on the 446 shuttle bus, available in summer/autumn, or the 440 bus from Sexten/Sesto, which takes about an hour. Once you are down in Sexten, you can continue on foot or rent a bike to explore the valley. If you arrive by car, you must leave it in the Fischleintalboden/Pian di Val Fiscalina car park, which is paid and has limited parking spaces.

What to see around the Fischleintal Valley

The Fischleintal Valley is the ideal location for admiring the Sexten Sundial, the largest natural sundial the world, and to access the Three Peaks Nature Park.

At about 1,300 metres above sea level, just before the Fischleintal Valley, sits the village of Sexten. Here, you can visit the museum devoted to the works of the South Tyrolean painter Rudolf Stolz and his brother Albert, whose lives spanned the 19th and 20th centuries. Some of Rudolf Stolz's frescoes can be found in St Joseph's Church in Moos, the Sexten hamlet that marks the beginning of the Fischleintal Valley. It is also known as Bad Moos (Moos Baths) due to the presence of an ancient sulphurous water spring.
