Nature, fun, diversity

A family summer surrounded by nature

Want to let off steam and get away from everyday life at the same time? Well, this is the place to do it! Vals is an idyllic town in South Tyrol, located at an altitude of 1350 metres, which offers pleasantly cool summers. Cool doesn't mean cold, but hot days enriched with fresh mountain breezes that will blow through your hair. Vals also promises a family summer surrounded by nature. Pleasant warmth, fresh mountain air, magnificent views. And much more, especially adventures for the little ones. They will become real little nature rangers here.

The classics

Hiking and biking

You'll find countless hiking and themed trails here, many of which are ideally suited for pushchairs and family hikes. It's also great for mountain biking and e-biking. It's not far to the alpine pastures, winding paths through sleepy little forests, where you can discover animals, listen to the birds singing, and collect pebbles and flowers... Mountain hikes become even easier when you conquer the first, most difficult and steepest part of the ascent by cable carperhaps even for free. Or maybe you're one of the passionate summit stormers looking to climb the Big Five or one of the 500 other peaks in our area.

An active extravaganza

Adventure and theme parks

The Gitschberg Jochtal region boasts pristine nature and yet is synonymous with variety and adventure. A paradise for children, every day of your holiday will be packed with new adventures. Paragliding and tandem flights, rafting and climbing courses, where kids learn to handle ropes and carabiners and, under the supervision of professionals, make their first attempts at climbing the rocks. The large grass football field in Vals, regularly welcomes professional football clubs such as SPAL Ferrara, FC Ingolstadt, FK Jablonec, U.S. Audace and the Czech national soccer team to train. Then there are the adventure parks with petting zoo, water park, climbing deer, and a balance course... And why not try riding or playing tennis too?!
