The Sarn Valley: an earthy challenge

At 303 square kilometres, the Sarn Valley is, in terms of area, the largest community in South Tyrol. The valley, which runs from north to south as far as Bozen, contains ten villages at altitudes from 970 to 1500 metres above sea level. From Bozen, the Sarn Valley can be reached by car in less than 30 minutes, on a ruggedly romantic road with panoramic views and 18 tunnels. The valley is 50km long, the river Talfer flows through it, and it is surrounded by mountains.
