video: The Planetarium of South Tyrol

What stars are seen from South Tyrol, and what exactly are sunspots? The answers lie in San Valentino in Campo in the Ega Valley, home to the Planetarium of South Tyrol. The 3D Planetarium, only one of its kind in the Alps, reveals the secrets of the stars in a fun and playful manner by making use of the Trail of Planets and the reflector telescope found in the observatory.
video: Catinaccio - Latemar

In the heart of the legendary world of mountains of King Laurin, the area of the Catinaccio - Latemar makes you experience nature at close quarters. Climbing, hiking, mountaineering, mountain biking or simply promenading in the forest, there are many ways to spend one’s leisure time. The calm and tranquility of nature in the area of the imposing mountain peaks of the Latemar and Catinaccio mountain ranges attract visitors both in summer and winter.

The municipality of Cornedo extends at 283 - 1,680 m asl and represents an oasis of calm and tranquillity in the holiday area of Catinaccio-Latemar. Comprising the localities of Prato all’Isarco, San Valentino in Campo, Cardano, Cornedo and Collepietra the municipality is delimited by the three rivers Isarco, Ega and Bria.

The municipality is named after Castel Cornedo, which rises on a steep rock above the valley. The largest villages that belong to the municipality are Collepietra and San Valentino in Campo, where the local folk museum as well as the Max Valier Observatory are the main attractions.

The great landscape is by the way ideal terrain for hikes and cycling tours. Also in winter the snow-covered landscape can be experienced, e.g. by snow-shoeing. The near Latermar-Obereggen skiing area as well as the Ski Area Carezza Karersee make winter sports enthusiasts’ hearts leap for joy.
