Venosta Valley, in South Tyrol, boasts one of the most diverse cultural and natural landscapes in the Alps. Full of
castles and Romanesque
churches, this fascinating valley also enjoys a special micro-climate and the highest mountains in the Tyrolean region.
From the original
Schnalstal Valley below the highest glaciers of the Eastern Alps to the villages of
Castelbello/Kastelbell,
Ciardes/Tschars,
Laces/Latsch and
Silandro/Schlanders, near Merano/Meran, share the spa town’s Mediterranean-Alpine climate and reflect the area’s rich heritage of castles and Renaissance chateaux. Together with
Prato allo Stelvio/Prad am Stilfserjoch and the
Ortler region, the high Alpine Val Martello with its over 3,900 meter high peaks also includes the
Stelvio National Park.
