Fane Alm... the nicest alpine village from whole South Tyrol
Place: Valles
The houses of the village Fanealm (1,739m above seal level) are set at the head of the Valser valley and built according to the ancient traditional timber construction. The bubbling mountain stream runs through extensive pastures, amidst the pastoral silence of nature, and not infrequently the whistling of the marmots can be heard. Slowly ascending, the meadows turn into a mountain side, covered by rhododendrons in summertime and inviting visitors to go tobogganing and snow-shoe hiking in the winter. The locals are much like their surroundings: cool, down-to-earth and natural. Thus, you may experience our hospitality at a traditional stop in a hut after a hiking tour, or during the Fane feast that takes place once a year, where locals and guests gather on the Alpine pasture to hold a party.
