Ahrntal/Valle Aurina

Nestled in the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park, the Ahrntal Valley impresses with its more than 80 three-thousand-metre peaks, 120 drinking water springs, 35 mountain lakes, 9 waterfalls and a unique healing gallery. A valley without through traffic, rich in the purest air, untouched nature and crystal-clear water. The establishment of the consortium "Zukunft Ahrntal" was a concrete step towards respectful treatment of nature, resources, traditions and the way of life in the valley. Local cycles and economic structures are promoted and further developed on the basis of socio-economic projects such as Taufrisch and Kleiner Marktplatz. Soft mobility and good, regular public transport connections promote environmentally friendly transportation. The Ahrntal Valley has been awarded the Sustainability Label South Tyrol for these measures – an important milestone on the road to a future fit for our grandchildren.

Anyone who loves cross-country skiing will love the Ahrntal. Connected to Europe's largest cross-country carousel Dolomiti NordiSki, 50 excellently-prepared and snow-safe kilometres of trails await you here. You will be delighted by the great conditions for classic and skating: but also, the incomparably beautiful views of the more than 80 three-thousand-metre peaks will accompany you on your cross-country skiing outings.

Would you like a slice of spicy grey cheese? A hand-carved nativity scene? Or a bobbin lace quilt? You will find a wide range of local, high-quality foods and handcrafted articles for daily use and art in the Ahrntal valley, as in the rest of South Tyrol. Ahrntal valley farmers have dedicated themselves in particular to producing cheese. Grey cheese was even awarded the highest possible award “Presidio” by Slowfood and at the Travel Food Award the Ahrntal received the award "Best Food and Wine Event Italy 2023" with its gray cheese. Lots of producers sell straight from the farm where you can sample the treats and get to know the producers. Lace-making and woodcarving have an important meaning here. In the past, handicrafts secured the valley’s economic existence.

There has been a long tradition of making things yourself in South Tyrol. High quality and durability are the primary factors, which are achieved through the use of proprietary manufacturing techniques and high-quality raw materials. This allows us to create products that are only available here.

Youth trips, group trips and school trips – the Ahrntal not only offers the perfect hosts and group houses. The entire valley is known for its great range of adventures and activities at any time of the year. In winter, teenagers and teenagers conquer the slopes of the Skiword Ahrntal while snowboarding or skiing. While beginners practice the right technique at a ski course, pros compete on the downhill slopes in the time race. Do you fancy some tobogganing? The toboggan runs in the valley guarantee sport and fun, and moonlight tobogganing is simply unforgettable! There is also a change of a visit for young and old at Snow & Fun Park Tamarix in Mühlwald, which lures with a 237-metre-long magic carpet and an illuminated slope.
