THE FEEL-GOOD VALLEY
Maso Corto/Val Senales in Italy: refreshingly real and really rustic
When we say “Schnols über olls” (“Val Senales above everything”), it is because Val Senales is indeed a very delightful spot. Because it’s so heart-warmingly rustic here, and the people are so wonderfully authentic. From Juval Castle at the entrance, the valley reaches up to Maso Corto and the glacier area and ends in a spectacular arena - the Alpin Arena Senales. Like no other valley in South Tyrol, Val Senales combines the diversity of alpine lifestyle, with high alpine air and proximity to the city, a thirst for adventure and a feeling of freedom.
QUALITY? YOU BET!
Val Senales does not have to stage itself, but shows what it has in a subtle, natural way. Whether on the glacier, where the Iceman Ötzi Peak allows you to view well over 100 peaks over 3,000 metres, or down in the valley in Maso Corto, your starting point into alpine experience. Val Senales lets you celebrate ancient traditions and follow Ötzi’s footsteps, taste regional ingredients, discover natural treasures and follow your thirst for adventure. All year round!
CITY, COUNTRY, MOUNTAIN
The Val Senales Glacier: pleasantly cool in summer, deeply snow-covered in winter. Not far from the head of the valley, a Mediterranean-like breeze mixes in with the ice-clear mountain air. As rustic and high alpine as it is around the Hochjochferner, the Val Senales valley is very close to Merano. You can reach the spa town from Maso Corto in about 40 minutes by car. You get from the glacier directly to the city experience and back without detours.
MASO CORTO: PEARL OF VAL SENALES
Maso Corto in Italy is the highest village in Val Senales and it is located directly at the foot of the glacier. As early as the 19th century, tourists discovered the area for hiking, climbing and skiing. However, it was some time before the first glacier cable car was built in 1970. The alpine village of Maso Corto in Italy attracts visitors with various accommodation establishments, pubs and shopping facilities. A special highlight in Maso Corto in Val Senales is the village festival in September after the transhumance.
