Presule Castle, ancestral castle of the Lords of Fiè, is one of the most beautiful castles in South Tyrol: a guided tour through the Gothic castle complex is well worthwhile.

The municipality of Fiè allo Sciliar is enthroned amidst the vast meadows and forests of the Sciliar region. The impressive mountain massif not only serves as an unforgettable backdrop during a stay, but is also the landmark of Fiè and the entire South Tyrol: The mountain silhouette, which is also depicted in the South Tyrol logo, shows the mighty Sciliar massif with its Punta Santner and Punta Euringer peaks. Together with the nearby Alpe di Siusi, this creates a wonderful hiking and climbing area in summer and a skiing area in winter. In Fiè itself, the Farm Trail of Aica shows you the surroundings.

The landscape here is particularly impressive, ranging from the vineyards on the slopes above the Valle Isarco valley up to dense coniferous forests and the rugged peaks of the Dolomites. Documentary records of Fiè have existed since the 9th century, although its origins probably go back much further (4th millennium BC). A particularly valuable find is a musical instrument that resembles a flute: It is the oldest musical instrument found in South Tyrol. Oswald von Wolkenstein is also a name you will hear often here: The minnesinger is still celebrated every year at the Oswald von Wolkenstein Ride, one of the largest equestrian spectacles in South Tyrol.

A few years ago, Fiè allo Sciliar was declared a climatic health resort. There are many places of interest surrounded by the clear mountain air: These include cultural treasures like Presule Castle as well as family destinations like the Malga Tuff and nature highlights like Lake Fiè. Fiè attaches particular importance to its cuisine, one of South Tyrol's gourmet restaurants with 3 Gault Millau toques is located here. The delicacies of the Sciliar and Alpe di Siusi regions are celebrated during the "Schlerngenuss Dolomites" speciality weeks at the beginning of summer and the "Völser Kuchlkastl".
