archeoParc Schnalstal Valley - Get in touch with the world of the Iceman. South Tyrol's first hands-on archaeology museum is distinguished by its unconventional architecture. In terms of construction, form and material, the low-energy museum building is a homage to the Neolithic originals that archaeology has unearthed, and covers an imaginary vista sweeping through Tisental up to Tisenjoch. Depicted along the way are topics ranging from the oldest human traces in the alpine region to the Iceman and his lifestyle and economic adaptation. Life-size house models based on the archaeological evidence convey an idea of how our forebears lived.
The shooting range in Schnalstal Valley stands on a hill above the pilgrimage church of Madonna di Senales/Unser Frau. It can be fired on 8 lines with small bore rifle at 100 meters distance. If there is a large crowd, the waiting time can be reduced in the sports shooting room or on the terrace.

Sense the spirit of our forefathers, with bow and arrows, such as Ötzi already used. This can best be understood on the newly erected bow challenge course at Moarhof Farm in Monte Santa Caterina/Katharinaberg. Valentin Müller has copied Ötzi’s bow and arrow, and – in a 3D hunting circuit with 20 targets, which imitate real animals and are set up in the forest – both young and old can pursue their hunting instinct.

Altitude training canoeing & kayaking on the Vernago lake
The lake in the midst of the three thousand metre peaks is characterised by its unique turquoise-green colour, especially in summer, which is caused by the glacier cut in tzhe water. It is not for nothing that national teams have been training on the Vernago lake for years.
A welcome guest for example is Antonio Rossi, three-time Olympic Champion and multiple Canoe World Champion.
With its location at 1,700 metres above sea level and marked rowing routes of various lengths, the lake offers ideal conditions for optimal altitude training
The reason for the perfonmance-enhancing effect of altitude training is easy to explain: The lack of oxygen at high altitudes forces the human organism to adapt. This affects primarily the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system and the blood.
Those who want to experience this (including the surge of adrenaline) can learn it under the supervision of an instructor in the Marchegg rock climbing garden. The 30 metre high wall offers a lot, from fixed rope climbing to climbing routes with degrees of difficulty from 4a to 7b+. Great adventure and fun not only for kids!
