The ancient bishop's town at the river Eisack offers, besides its winter sports, also a number of cultural sights. Lovely churches, monasteries and chapels are awaiting your visit, as well as the quaint alleys with their cosy shops and restaurants. The pistes and the impressive peaks of the Dolomites are always within sight. The local mountain "Plose" takes you up to 2,505 m.

Away from the pistes there are some huts and apres ski bars, which invite you to spend the evening in a cosy corner. The numerous restaurants and pubs offer besides a lovely cosy atmosphere also delicious food specialities.
