North of Meran/Merano, the original natural landscape of the Passeiertal valley extends along an old long-distance trading route all the way up to the peak of the Timmelsjoch pass. Located in the middle of the Texelgruppe Nature Park, the home of freedom fighter Andreas Hofer offers perfect holiday conditions for families and hikers. The villages of the Passeiertal valley inspire with their peculiarities: while in Riffian/Rifiano and Kuens/Caines, the proximity to Meran/Merano and the Mediterranean influence are highly noticeable, in the main towns of St. Martin/San Martino and St. Leonhard/San Leonardo, perfect starting points for hikes to higher realms can be found. Finally, in the Hinterpasseier valley lies the municipality of Moos/Moso, a member of the Alpine Pearls Association, with the idyllic mountain village of Rabenstein/Corvara, the peaceful mountain hamlet of Platt/Plata, sunny Stuls/Stulles and the holiday resort of Pfelders/Plan, which embraces gentle mobility.
