Winter landscape near Rasun di Sopra: The entrance to the valley is only a few kilometres from the entrance to the Plan de Corones skiing area. The Valle di Anterselva valley itself, however, is a paradise for Nordic skiing. Cross-country skiers and biathletes get their money’s worth here.

The municipality of Rasun Anterselva comprises the northern side valley of the Val Pusteria that stretches from Rasun to the Passo Stalle, the mountain pass at the border to East Tyrol. Highest mountain in the municipal territory is the 3,471 m high Collalto, the main peak of the Vedrette di Ries-Aurina mountain range. Rasun Anterselva has got about 2,800 inhabitants and stretches in the Vedrette di Ries nature park with its impressive natural scenery.

The main attraction of the municipality is the unique lake Anterselva, which is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes of South Tyrol. But not only the lake itself, but also the fresh and cool mountain air in high summer attracts visitors from all over. Also particularly popular is the biathlon centre of Anterselva, which used to be venue for a series of international competitions. However, if you love mountain biking and seek a challenge, we recommend you the famous Giro delle Vedrette, a circuit that takes to East Tyrol and back to Italy.
