Our opinion
· Plenty of activities and attractions throughout the valley for all ages · A hiker's paradise with stunning panoramic views · Take the Smuggler's Trail- walk over the border, along a former smuggler's route into Italy, taking in the spectacular views of the South Tirol · The Gurgler Song festival, in August, is a real highlight of the summer musical calendar
