Only a few houses and farms surround the St. Peter Church in the old village centre. A larger settlement near San Pietro can be found down the valley in the area called “In der Marche” above San Giacomo.

Not only mountaineers get their money’s worth here. Also easier hikes in the valley can be done in the upper Valle Aurina valley, e.g. to the Holy Spirit Church in Casere.

S. Pietro is located at 1,364 m asl, the parish church is located at the northern mountain slope and is dedicated to the saints Petrus and Paulus. It dates back to 1600, its steeple has been constructed in Gothic style.

A walk to an Alpine mountain hut, a pleasant stop in a mountain refuge, Aurina offers a series of possibilities for your leisure. What is constantly accompanying you is a fabulous mountain scenery that has to offer more than 80 three thousanders. If you prefer walking in lower altitudes, we recommend you the Samhütten mountain huts as well as the Taser and Winkleralm.

In winter, there are also several tails that are ideal for a walk. Moreover the skiing areas Speikboden and Klausberg are within easy reach and do not only offer well-groomed slopes, but also a fabulous panoramic view.
