Events in Dolomitenregion Villnösstal

From 18th to 21st September, we will join together to collect waste thanks to the SÜDTIROL CleanUP Days. The project is organised by the non-profit association Patron. As part of the SÜDTIROL CleanUP Days, eleven South Tyrolean destinations are calling for nature to be cleared of rubbish. The clean-up takes place in Val d'Ega/Eggental, Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm, Villnöss, Olang and Aldein Radein, in Val Passiria/Passeiertal, Valle Aurina/Ahrntal and in the regions Valle di Casies/Welsberg-Tesido/Taisten, Gitschberg-Val Giovo/Jochtal, Lüsen and Racines/Ratschings. The eleven territories have one thing in common: they all strive to spread a conscious and respectful approach to nature. Furthermore, in IDM South Tyrol we have found a partner who cares as much about our planet as we do. The concept is easy to explain: by forming small groups, numerous nature lovers set out to collect rubbish scattered in forests, on the shores of lakes, in municipalities... in short, wherever rubbish has been left behind. Anyone can participate: Registration and coordination of the routes takes place via the CleanUP Map (interactive map) at www.patron-nature.org/en/cleanup/south-tyrol. Here, participants can directly enter their chosen date and route.

The farmers’ festival at Teis, which will take place on 19th October 2025, is one of South Tyrol’s most traditional festivals and a true journey of discovery through the crafts and customs of the Villnöss valley. On the festival, you’ll learn how to do old farm crafts such as baking bread, weaving baskets and hats, felting, carving and pottery. Freshly prepared, rustic specialties are also served, while musical groups play in the charming village lanes. Beginning at 10.00 am.

Advent carol singing in the parish church of St. Peter/Villnöss valley starting at 4.30 pm. Be inspired by the contemplative atmosphere.
