The green heart of the Puez Geisler Nature Park
Thanks to its spectacular mountain scenery, the Villnöss Valley at the foot of the Dolomites is a paradise for those who love nature and enjoy long hikes or mountain biking in the Dolomites. Nestling in the Puez Geisler Nature Park, shaped by gentle low mountain range terraces and steep rock massifs, populated with tranquil villages, sleepy hamlets and farmsteads rich in tradition, the Villnöss Valley is famed for the warm hospitality of its inhabitants. The nearby towns of Klausen and Brixen are both worth a visit and offer a variety of cultural and tourist attractions as well as plenty of opportunities for shopping.
The combination of colourful meadows and overwhelming mountain peaks in the area will entice you to enjoy both long hiking tours and relaxing walks in Spring and Autumn too.
Summer or winter, the Villnöss Valley is an exceedingly attractive holiday destination at any time of the year, and thanks to an almost endless range of sporting and leisure activities offers you the ideal walking or family holiday in South Tyrol.
