Alma Mahler welcomes you The composition house in Carbonin Vecchia reopens its doors in the summer months....with a very special hostess Anyone who cultivates a passion for culture and music knows that Dobbiaco holds a treasure trove. Lying on a meadow overlooking the village and the entire valley, close to the forest towards Pian di Maia, is a small, simple wooden building. The building at first glance appears very modest, but stands proud and aware of its incredible significance and history. Between those planks, in fact, the famous Bohemian composer Gustav Mahler, accompanied by his beloved Alma, between the summers of 1908 and 1910, found peace and inspiration to compose some of his most beautiful and important symphonies, among them 'Das Lied von der Erde' (The Song of the Earth). After careful restoration, the composition house at the Trenkerhof finally reopens its doors to all those who want to breathe in the history and atmosphere of the Belle Epoque. During the summer months of July and August, every Wednesday and every Friday from 3 to 5 p.m., in collaboration with the Santer Family, owner of the cultural asset, every visitor will have the chance to step back in time and breathe in the magic of those places and the surrounding nature. They will be welcomed by a very special hostess... Alma, the composer's beloved companion until her death in 1911, herself an eclectic and important figure in the history of world culture, who will make the visit even more special with stories and anecdotes. Admission to the park and the composition house is free of charge. On-site parking is available, but only in combination with a visit to the Wildlife Park. https://mahlernaturklangpark.com In case of bad weather the visit will be cancelled.

OPENING TEMPORARY EXHIBITION: 12/07/2025 My wife and I were expecting the birth of our daughter in 2021, the year my book MASSIV was published. During this time, I felt a growing desire to send a strong message about the protection of the Alps. That‘s why I donated all of the proceeds from the book – over 100,000 euros – to projects aimed at preserving our mountains. I didn‘t want to have to explain to my daughter later that I had stood by and done nothing while our Alps were under threat. Shortly before the book was published, I also made a short film called "A letter to my daughter" – a personal, hopeful letter to my unborn child.

In the second half of the 19th century, running a business, practicing a skilled trade, or, least of all, being an alpinist was far from easy if you were a woman. The period between 1865 and 1914 saw numerous wives of photographers active in mountaineering and mountain photography, and it would not be possible to include them all in this exhibition. Instead, four women photographers were selected to represent the group in this exhibition. Among them, Elizabeth Whitshed Main takes a special place as an outstanding photographer, alpinist, and the founder of winter alpinism in general and winter tourism in the region of Engadin, Switzerland, in particular. The exhibition also features works by Gertrude Bell, Eleonore Noll-Hasenclever, and Una Cameron, three distinguished alpinists, travel journalists, and women’s rights activists. The life and work of these four pioneers of mountain photography are exhibited in rotation. Una May Cameron is currently being exhibited. Curator: Richard Piock (TAP – Süd) An exhibition in cooperation with Soroptimist Club Pustertal and TAP - Süd

Guided tour in Italian through the Collegiate Church and the St. Michaels Church.

Guided tour in German through the Collegiate Church and the St. Michaels Church.

Did you know that every particle of light touching your skin today has travelled 100,000 years through the heart of the Sun before reaching you? And have you ever thought that modern medicine – with all its technology and labs – might actually be a distant echo of an ancient “solar medicine” born thousands of years ago in Greece? Astronomy and healing: two fields more closely intertwined than we might think. Back then, people looked up at the sky not only to trace constellations, but to find answers to illness, pain, and the path to healing. And even today, much can still be discovered – if we’re willing to look up. Together with Matteo (astronomer and science communicator) and Stefano (author, educator, and physiotherapist), we’ll take you on a fascinating journey: from ancient myths to cutting-edge science, from solar storms to somatic therapies. What if a massive solar flare could knock out the lights across the world? And what can the sky still teach us about healing? An evening of science, stories and wonder. Join us – if you're curious to reconnect with the Sun, with yourself, and with the healing forces that unite us. This event will be held in ITALIAN only.
