Second only to the chief village, Valtina is the largest village belonging to San Leonardo. Most of the farms date back to the 13th century, all of them are managed in a traditional way, as agriculture has still got an important role to play, also regarding the preservation of the cultural landscape. In daily life, the inhabitants are steeped in customs and tradition.

Walten has 320 inhabitants, among them also some personalities, e.g. the extraordinary musician Herbert Pixner, founder of the Herbert Pixner Projekt, and ex-ski racer Werner Heel.

The village is an ideal starting point for mountain tours, from easy to challenging. There is for instance a round trail of 12 km, from Valtina to the Sailertaljoch pass at 2,359 m asl, down to the Bärengrübl to S. Anna and back to the village. The sports offer in winter is completed by the nearby Giovo-Racines skiing area.

The Stream Procession in honour of Saint John of Nepomuk: This tradition, around 200 years old, takes place every year at the beginning of July. It begins with gun salutes at 6.45 am, and the procession itself starts at 7.30 am. The saint's actual feast day is in mid-May, but in the past, there was often still too much snow at this time of year. Preparations begin several days beforehand with the decorating of houses and the weaving of wreaths. The procession starts at the church in Valtina and follows the course of the stream, which is why it is also called the Stream Procession.

The Gospels are read at four stations. At the final station, the life-sized statue of Saint John is symbolically rescued from the stream and placed on a velvet bed. The statue is then carried to the church in Vannes. The procession ends there with an open-air mass, as the small church cannot accommodate all the worshippers.
