As a place of passage over the Alps, the Upper Vinschgau has always been of military interest. Not only the Romans, the Habsburgs and Napoleon passed through here, but also the Second World War left its traces. Most of these traces, however, are not visible to the naked eye, as they are monumental underground bunkers that were planned as defensive installations and places of refuge. The hidden fortresses were part of the Alpine Wall, but were never used for military purposes.
Today, the architectural relics from the interwar period are embedded in the orchards and pastures of the surrounding area.

Admission by guided tour only!
Bunker guided tours (in German or Italian): every Thursday from June to October. Registration and information on +39 0473 831 190

Sonnensteig trail - the theme trail in Upper Vinschgau Valley

There are some interesting points of exploration along this themed route such as the Benedictine abbey, the paths along the irrigation canals (known locally as ‘Waale’) as well as the natural landscape and some of the legends of the Alta Vinschgau Valley. And if you prefer, you can select just specific sections of the themed trail of interest to you. 

A small ski lift called Ramudla, built by a visionary from Matsch at the end of the 1970s near the Glieshöfe farms, makes children's hearts beat faster. However, the small drag lift is also suitable for beginners and connoisseurs. The atmosphere is very family-friendly, the employees work on the lift on a voluntary basis, there is always time for a chat and the little ones are always in view.

The tour starts at the source of the Adige river, the hike leads along the Venosta Valley high trail, past the Altgraun church tower and on to St. Valentin.

Paul Flora, graphic artist and illustrator from Glurns, drew cartoons for Die Zeit for about 25 years. His life centred around Innsbruck, but Glurns always remained a point of reference for him. Thus it was his wish to be buried here in 2009. There is a permanent Paul Flora exhibition in the church gate tower.

The Watles chairlift is open only in winter.
