Mountains and valleys
A feast for your eyes, a treat for your taste buds and an energising workout for your calf muscles – discover a world of adventure on your very doorstep. The Mühlwalder Valley is the ideal base for a peaceful getaway, offering total tranquillity and seclusion. And yet, in just a few minutes by car, you can be in the heart of the action (if you so desire!). The Tauferer Ahrntal Valley offers all of the highlights of a holiday in South Tyrol on a small scale: mountain adventures on foot or by bike – the area boasts over 80 three-thousand-metre peaks, breathtaking nature, culture and not forgetting the traditional South Tyrolean cuisine with its characteristic blend of Alpine and Mediterranean influences.
The Mühlwalder Valley is most famous for its pristine landscape. It’s the perfect place for anyone who craves tranquillity and unspoilt nature. Along with the two small villages of Mühlwald (Selva dei Molini) and Lappach (Lappago), the valley is dedicated to the subject of water, which has shaped the lives and work of the inhabitants for many years.
