Lodenwelt – all about the world of loden

Here’s a foretaste

Loden is a durable fabric made from sheep’s wool. Originally worn by shepherds and farmers to ward off the cold, it soon found its way into the wardrobes of royalty. In the Pustertal valley – in Vintl to be more precise –you can learn fun facts and interesting snippets about this traditional fabric.

Lodenwelt in detail

If you find yourself driving through the locality of Vintl, in the Pustertal valley, you cannot miss it: Lodenwelt extends over an area of 3,000m², and is entirely dedicated to the production and popularisation of loden, a traditional quality fabric that is still rigorously manufactured by hand. The Lodenwelt facilities include an interactive themed museum where you can learn all there is to know about the history of loden and the production of the iconic loden coats. After your tour, you can even purchase a themed souvenir. Next to Lodenwelt are the factory and store of Oberrauch Zitt, a renowned South Tyrolean brand specialising in traditional clothing and costumes.

Incidentally, admission to the Lodenwelt museum is free for Almencard holders.

How to get there

Lodenwelt fronts onto the Pustertal state road, from which it is signposted (Lodenwirt exit). There is a large car park in front of the building.

The picture shows a room illuminated in blue light and depicting a winter landscape. In the foreground are birch trunks, while the walls are decorated with pictures of snow-covered trees and mountains.
The picture shows an exhibition scene with life-size replicas of sheep. On the walls are large photographs of a shepherd looking after his sheep. The scene is dimly lit, highlighting the details of the sheep and the shepherd.
The picture shows an old wooden loom on which threads are stretched close together. The loom is displayed in a dark environment, which makes the details of the mechanism and the threads clearly visible.
The picture shows an exhibition of ski clothing from the 1930s presented on mannequins. In the background are illustrations of skiers and an old poster depicting the fashion and skiing of the time. A pair of skis lies on the floor in front of the clothing.
