Holidays in the Val Isarco, Holidays in Val Pusteria

Maranza – the gateway to both!

Anyone visiting the Gitschberg Jochtal pasture region who wishes to discover more than just a beautiful landscape will find a thriving tradition in a variety of historic cultural locations and impressive natural features, all against the magnificent backdrop of the Dolomites. A holiday on the sunny high plateau of Maranza is the best possible starting point to discover and experience two adjoining South Tyrolean valleys, the Val Isarco and the Val Pusteria.

The Val Isarco runs south from the Passo Brennero to Bolzano. It is a valley of many contrasts, with its unique natural and cultural treasures, well-known for its wine and Törggelen (autumn wine-tasting). The Val Pusteria too is a wonderful holiday destination: from Rio di Pusteria to San Candido you follow the impressive, pallid towers of the Dolomites. In the nature parks of Vedrette di Ries-Aurina, Puez Odle and Fanes Sennes Braies you can experience Alpine flora and fauna at close hand. Local customs, handed down from generation to generation, bear witness to a lovingly preserved tradition and culture.
