Valle Aurina

La Valle Aurina (German Ahrntal) is known to be the Mecca of extreme sports in South Tyrol, in winter and in summer. During your winter holidays Italy here you can try the following sports: climbing on iced waterfalls and snowrafting, while the summer extreme sports are: paragliding, hang-gliding, rafting and so on.  This valley is the last one to be discovered by mass tourism in South Tyrol and offers many kinds of accommodations in Italy in the mountains: wellness hotels, residential hotels in the mountains, holiday apartments and so on. Gastronomy is very good here: apart from the local delicacies like “Speckknödel” , Bauerngröstl (farmers’ roasted kinds of meats), Schlutzkrapfen (spinats ravioli) and Krapfen, you can try many other Italian and international specialties. An occasion to do so is the “Street Cooking” in Campo Tures (German: Sand in Taufers), which takes place here in July and August, or the International Cheese festival (German: Käsefestival, Italian: Festival Internazionale del Formaggio), which takes place in March.
