We are in Fié allo Sciliar, at the feet of the unmistakable and legendary Sciliar Massif, where witches used to celebrate their rituals. Definitely a worth seeing landscape with jewels such as Castel Presule and the Fiè Pond in the middle of the woods.

video: Hiking Tip: Farm Trail of Aica

The Farm Trail of Aica contains some of the most beautiful farms that are found in the Sciliar region - the original architecture has been very well preserved. This trail at the foothills of the Fiè mountain range offers an impressive tour through varied natural surroundings and cultural landscapes.

The medieval manor near Fiè allo Sciliar has been mentioned for the first time in a document dating back to 1279 as “Castrum Presile”. For centuries it was the headquarter of the Lords of Fiè, an influential noble family. Nowadays, Castel Presule is the venue for cultural events and exhibitions and is open to the public: guided tours are organized during the summer months.
video: Ice skating on the Fiè Pond

The frozen surface of the most famous lake in the Alpe di Siusi area, the Pond of Fiè, invites to a wonderful winter day with family and friends. Take your first steps on the ice and enjoy a magnificent panoramic view on Mt. Sciliar…

It is not only the symbol of Fié allo Scilar, but also of the province of South Tyrol. The Sciliar is a striking Dolomite mountain, at the foot of which the municipality of Fiè with its component localities Fié di Sotto, Fié di Sopra, Peterbuehel, Presule, Sant’Antonio, San Constantino, Santa Caterina, Aica di Fié, Prato Isarco, Umes, Novale and Steg is located. With a total of some 3,500 inhabitants, Fié allo Sciliar stretches from 315 m to 2,64 m asl.

Particularly striking is the landscape, as the villages are on the one hand surrounded by vineyards in the Valle Isarco, on the other hand by spruce forests and bizarre Dolomite peaks. Even if the origins of Fié definitely date back much longer in time, the first documents mentioning the municipality are dated with the 9th century. A particularly precious finding is a music instrument, that is similar to a flute, representing the most ancient music instrument that has ever been found in South Tyrol.

Gastronomy has an important role to play in Fié allo Sciliar. “Naturkost”, which means organic food, is the motto of the gastronomic weeks in June, while in October the “Kuchlkastl” represents a real highlight, treating your palate.
