The mountain destination between the Plan de Corones and the Dolomites

Holiday in the mountains

Climbing mountains, biking through valleys, cross-country skiing on sunny trails, conquering ski slopes, getting to know the rural culture. A holiday in Val Casies/Gsiesertal Valley, Monguelfo/Welsberg and Tesido/Taisten means enjoying the peace and quiet and exploring nature in every season. You don't have to choose between the Dolomites or the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz region - both are within easy reach from here. Would you like to see Lake Braies/Pragser Wildsee lake? Circle the Drei Zinnen/Three Peaks? Ride up the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz in designer cabins? Or simply enjoy the peace and quiet in the valley? A warm welcome to us.

Witnesses of the farming culture

The villages around the Val Casies/Gsiesertal Valley are deeply rooted in their past

Farming culture, traditions and practices are still very important to the local population today. You can see it for yourself when colourfully decorated cows return from the mountains to the valley in autumn. When bands march through the village on festive occasions. Or when the whole valley celebrates the unique abundance of Alpine pastures at the Gsieser Almhüttenfest...
