Predoi village has a long history, shaped by mining, bobbin lace making, and agriculture
"Breathe" is the motto in the village of Predoi - here, while not everything, much revolves around healthy air. The accommodation providers, together with the Predoi Climate Gallery, enable allergy-free living, certified by the South Tyrolean Environmental Agency. This climate gallery calls itself "I breathe - Far from the world" and is a destination for people with respiratory problems and allergy sufferers, who relax inside the mountain, wrapped in a warm woollen blanket.
Another gallery houses the Predoi Mining Museum: The mine train takes you into the show mine, and one of the guides will then show you life underground. It is part of the South Tyrol Museum of Mining, four sites that extend to the 2,355-metre-high Monteneve in the Val Passiria. After active mining ended here, the population had to look for new sources of income.
The local women learned bobbin lace making in Vienna, a skill that was subsequently taught in a school in Predoi. Today, the houses of Predoi cluster around the area known as the "Kirchdorf", which contains the town hall and the grocery shop. The Parish Church of St. Valentine stands prominently right beside it. Further up the valley, you will find the mining museum on the right.
It marks the starting point of the Health Path in the mountain village of Predoi (Predoi Dorf), a four-kilometre route designed for well-being that shows you the highlights of the Upper Valle Aurina. Points of interest along the way include a waterfall, the "Prastmann" alpine settlement, and the Casere Visitor Centre. Alternatively, a mountain tour on the sunny slope leads to Lake Selva.
