Nestled into the fabled South Tyrolean Dolomites, Rio Pusteria is a region known for having
many characteristic alpine pastures, or Almen, and mountain huts. It is one of the sunniest valleys in the Alps. This multifaceted and diverse region offers
excitement, fun and plenty of recreational options – with gorgeous weather to boot. Hikers will enjoy
fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Rio Pusteria spans from
Rodengo/Rodeneck and
Spinga/Spinges in the south to the main village (Rio di Pusteria in Italian and Mühlbach in German), and all the way up to the high
Maranza/Meransen Plateau. In the east, the region encompasses the pristine
Valsertal Valley as far as
Vandoies/Vintl, into the
Vallarga/Weitental Valley and as far as
Fundres/Pfunders.
