This was a rewarding invention in sun-drenched Val Venosta/Vinschgau, where the sun shines more than 300 days in the year. Today, the ‘Waalwege’ are particularly popular with hikers in Val Venosta/Vinschgau, who spend their holidays immsed in the idyllic atmosphere of the meadows and forests along the narrow paths. The most famous irrigation channel in South Tyrol lies directly in front of our panoramic hotel in South Tyrol: the Schnalswaal is a light ascent to Juval Castle.
