The farms and houses of San Valentino in Campo nestle at an altitude of over 1,000 metres on the slopes of the Val d'Ega. Right in the middle of the village, you will find the new centre with a bar, a library, and the Planetarium South Tyrol. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary building, but inside rises the impressive dome: Here, presentations of the night sky take place, and here you can embark on exciting expeditions into space. Children are especially enthusiastic about a visit.

Slightly above it stands the Astronomical Observatory Max Valier, named after the astronomer and rocketry pioneer Max Valier, who was born in Bolzano in 1895. While the planetarium brings the sky closer in a simulation, regardless of the weather, at the astronomical observatory you can observe the sun and stars directly through the telescope. It is also an ideal starting point for the approximately three-hour hike on the Planetary Trail here in San Valentino in Campo (Gummer).

These celestial destinations make San Valentino in Campo, together with nearby Collepietra, the first European Star Village. The surrounding area invites further hikes: For example, follow the Collepietra High Route to the Oberölgart snack station, discover interesting facts about bees on the Bee Nature Trail, or visit the open-air exhibition on the Pstosser Bühel hill near Collepietra.

In winter, San Valentino in Campo in Cornedo all'Isarco attracts those seeking relaxation, who find a location here with reliable snow conditions. For active holidaymakers, Obereggen, 13 kilometres away, is a popular destination, with ski slopes, floodlit toboggan runs and cosy mountain huts.
