Hiking & Culture in South Tyrol: Val Senales

In Ötzi‘s land - Hiking and skiing resort in South Tyrol / Italy

We welcome you to one of the most fascinating valleys in the Alps! The discovery of Ötzi the Iceman proved that hunters and shepherds used to walk through this region over 5,300 years ago. The valley is absolutely uncommon, as in few kilometres it shifts from 500 metres to 3,200 metres above sea level – from almost Mediterranean to high mountain. Let the fascinating combination of unpolluted nature, tradition and fun for all the family capture you!

Iceman - 20 years after the discovery on the Tisenjoch

The oldest man Ötzi sui generis emerged from the ice of the Ötztal glacier in Val Senales in 1991. The Val Senales valley and the Ötztal valley commemorate the Iceman throughout the summer with exhibitions and festivals, lectures and events.
