On the trails of Ötzi in Schnals

The South Tyrolean commune Schnals lies nestled closely to the mountains, not far from Naturns and Meran and at the entrance of Schnalstal, the place where iceman Ötzi was discovered. The commune comprises the villages Katharinaberg, Karthaus, Unser Frau, Vernagt and Kurzras.

The glacier of Schnals is a particularly impressive mountain and ski area far from the crowds offering cross-country tracks, a toboggan-run, possibilities for snowshoe walking, one of the largest snow parks in the Dolomites and a spectacular view over the glaciers.

In spring time the firn-covered steeps glisten brightly in the sun and offer unforgettable hours outdoors. A special kind of event is the Ötzi Glacier Tour, an alpine walk to the place where the iceman was found, and a round trip with the snow cat „Ötzi-Express“ past glacial bridges and moraines. During the trip daredevils can have their picture taken in a glacier-gap. To see the glacier-mummy “live”, visit the Museum of Archeology in Bozen.

Glacial heights and alpine sights

During summer hiking friends find meager mountain peaks, gentle steeps and spectacular cycle and hiking paths. The breathtaking view puts worries of daily life into perspective. So buckle on your backpack and discover the beautiful nature park Texel Group; and afterwards enjoy a cozy evening in the quiet hotels in Schnals.

A very special nature phenomenon is Lake Vernagt in Schnalstal with its gorgeous play of colours, reflecting at times the radiating white of the snowy peaks, then again the deep green of the surrounding forests. A must for bike-fans is a tour along the cycle path of Vinschgau, past the idyllic villages of Algund, Naturns, Kastelbell and Laas. Find here the most beautiful hotels in Schnals in the environs of Meran in South Tyrol!
