Holidays in South Tyrol Eisacktal Valley

Klausen - The best time of the year starts here!

Holidays are always in season in the Eisacktal valley, it is always in season in the region of enjoyment of Klausen. Whether it's a hot summer day or the colder months, whether it's spring blossom or the chestnut harvest – Klausen and its villages are a destination with tradition and exceptional charm.

A brief introduction: In the artist’s city Klausen/Chiusa, you will find small-town flair in winding streets and an unparalleled hiking paradise. In Barbian/Barbiano, the village with the leaning tower, there are a mystical hamlet and thundering waterfalls. Feldthurns/Velturno, our chestnut village with sunny views, lies embedded between more than 3,000 chestnut trees and offers you an up close to nature experience. In the picturesque holiday village of Villanders/Villandro, an idyllic village combined with mountain pasture enjoyment attracts visitors all year long to its wonderful alpine pasture. Last but not least you will find South Tyrolean tradition, varied active experiences as well as Eisacktal valley specialities in Latzfons/Lazfons and Gufidaun/Gudon.

As you can see: Klausen is a great place for holidays in the Eisacktal valley!

ART IN THE HISTORIC TOWN
Heinz Lastei
08.08. - end of October
With this project, the historic centre of Klausen itself becomes an exhibition space. Shop windows, vacant spaces and selected locations are brought to life with art, carrying creative impulses directly into the town’s narrow streets.
In the upcoming edition, the focus will be on works by South Tyrolean artist Heinz Lastei, adding further artistic depth to the old town.
