The main place of the municipality has got some 2,000 inhabitants and is located at 864 m asl. This is also where the visitor’s centre of the Vedrette di Ries-Aurina nature park is located, providing information on flora and fauna as well as the „borders of humans and the borders of humans.“

Also the mighty Castel Tures belongs to the main sights of Campo Tures, as it is one of the most impressive castle complexes of the province. Dating back to the 13th century, it has originally been inhabited by the Lords of Tures, one of the most respected aristocratic families of the past. Today it is by the way in the hands of a South Tyrolean association taking care of castles. Mediaeval festivals, storytelling, today the castle is used as venue for various events. Another building that is steeped in history is the Neumeland residence.

Also a walk to the waterfalls of Riva di Tures is an absolute must-do, starting from the centre of Campo Tures. For relaxation we recommend an afternoon in the Cascade, a combination of „sauna“, „gusto“, „relax“, „acqua“ and „nature“.

In winter you can ski and snowboard on the slopes of the Klausberg or Speikboden skiing areas, or on the slopes of the Plan de Corones. What you also should not miss is a winterly visit to the Brunico Christmas market, when snowflakes fall from the sky and make the city appear a fairytale winter wonderland.
