Hiking in South Tyrol

The sun, in the dialect "Sunn", is the all-determining force on the Vinschger Sonnenberg. It heats up the rocks and bathes the landscape in its golden light. Wonderful starting points alternate with curious, exciting and unexpected insights into the secrets of a sensitive balance of natural forces.

The Dolomites, with the mountains of Sas dla Crusc on one side and the Pütia on the other one, provide the frame for the snow-covered meadows, old barns and farmsteads with the gardens of the 'viles', the traditional rural settlements in the oldest part of La Val.

In addition, on your way you will see the little church of St. Barbara, the symbol of the village, and the bell tower of the old church of La Val.

Along the trail, there are two agritourisms, 'Ciablun' and 'Lüch de Survisc', where you can stop to savour the authentic and genuine dishes of the Ladin cuisine.
