Image gallery: MMM Ortles
The Messner Mountain Museum Ortles in Solda at the slopes of Mt. Ortles is entirely dedicated to 'King Ortles'', South Tyrol's highest mountain at 3,905 metres. With the theme 'At the end of the world', the subterranean museum presents the fascinating world of glaciers.
It displays a globally unique collection of Ortles images and ice-climbing equipment spanning two centuries. You'll discover interesting facts about mythical creatures like the Yeti and the snow lion, polar regions, avalanches, and ice art. Solda is one of six locations between the provinces of Bolzano and Belluno where you can find one of the MMM mountain museums.
Reinhold Messner keeps yaks in Solda, perfectly adapted to high-mountain life. Right next to the museum, you can sample both South Tyrolean specialities and Tibetan dishes at the 'Yak & Yeti' restaurant. A short walk from the museum is a small exhibition in the former 'Flohhäuschen' (Flea House), a former mountaineers' lodge. Consisting of a single room, it is called Alpine Curiosa.
