Vinschgau Valley in summer

The Val Venosta Valley is an alpine valley between Merano and the Resia Mountain Pass. Characteristic for the valley is the small amount of annual precipitation. The reason for this climate is the imposing mountain chains: The Ortles-Cevedale Group (Ortler 3,905 m, South Tyrol’s highest mountain) and the Ötztaler Alps, which stop the clouds.

The climate also offers ideal prerequisites for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Whether you climb up to over 3,000 metres or you hike along the irrigation channels in the valley – everywhere you will be accompanied by the mild and sunny climate of this area. In high summer it has a very refreshing effect and in spring and autumn it offers comfortable warmth.

The Venosta Valley is located in the hiking paradise of the Stelvio National Park, where professional guides offer exciting hiking excursions.
