Perca

Special moments in the great outdoors of Perca.

> Altitude: 972 metres above sea level

Originally the name Perca derived from the Bavarian term “Perach”, meaning mountain, stream or birch. This dates back to the time, when the Bavarians dominated the place. Before them, the Romans were living in this area. Today, however, there is only one thing left of the Roman era, an empty milestone opposite to the church…

When driving from Val Isarco towards Val Pusteria, you will see that Perca - together with its hamlets Montevila, Vila di Sopra, Plata and Montassilone - comes right after the town of Brunico. Those loving nature and the mountains, have found the right spot as Perca is not far from the Vedrette di Ries-Aurina Nature Parc. Moreover, here you will also find some beautiful earth pyramids.

> We suggest: Hike to the earth pyramids of Plata or to the lovely hamlet of Ameto!
