The Schnalstal Valley

Welcome to one of the most fascinating valleys of the Alps

Schnalstal Valley in South Tyrol – nature, glaciers & authentic experiences

Nestled in the impressive mountain landscape of the Ötztal Alps, the Schnalstal Valley is an alpine paradise full of contrasts. From the sunny Vinschgau to the eternal ice of the Schnalstal Glacier, visitors experience a unique blend of unspoiled nature, vibrant culture and authentic South Tyrolean traditions.

Here, history meets the present: the discovery of Ötzi, the Iceman, made the valley world-famous, while centuries-old farmsteads, living traditions and the transhumance continue to shape the region today.

In summer, hiking, family experiences and alpine adventures await, while in winter the Alpin Arena Schnals ski resort on the glacier offers snow-reliable slopes and high-alpine skiing enjoyment.

Schnalstal – authentic, diverse and truly original.
