The Holy Spirit Church at the head of the valley is connected to the village centre via the Casere Way of the Cross
Casere (Kasern) has an almost high-alpine character. From the village, situated at around 1,600 metres above sea level, the road continues a little further into the valley to the Casere Visitor Centre, where it ends at a hiking car park. From this point, progress is only possible on foot or by mountain bike: The head of the Valle Aurina features the "Prastmann" alpine pasture settlement and the Holy Spirit Pilgrimage Church. Here, at the foot of the Vetta d'Italia in the Zillertal Alps, lies Italy's northernmost point, according to the Treaty of Saint-Germain.
The area not only captivates with its impressive landscape but is also characterised by diverse handicrafts. Bobbin lace making, a traditional craft, and mask carving are still important sources of income in the village today, alongside livestock farming and other artisanal activities. There are also seamstresses who make traditional blouses, Christmas tree decorations, and dolls.
The Holy Spirit Pilgrimage Church, a former miners' chapel, is a short walk from the village. It is located in the Vedrette di Ries-Aurina Nature Park. Alpine huts, mountain streams, and grazing cows characterise the surroundings of this mountain location. Longer tours lead from here to the Giogo Lungo Hut - a hike designed as a circular route through the Valle del Vento and the Valle Rossa - or to the Trinkstein Hut. In winter, these paths become winter hiking trails.
Additionally, a toboggan slope for children and the long Sonnenloipe - one of the cross-country ski tracks in the valley - provide opportunities for a day in the snow. Popular ski touring destinations include Mt. Pizzo Rosso and the Cima del Vento, before the meadows fill with spring flowers.
