The Venosta countryside is rich in culture. King Ortler, the gentle
giant, watches over the region’s scenic and cultural treasures. These
include Glorenza, the smallest town in the Tyrol and in Italy, an
architectural jewel, that is adored by everyone who discovers it. The
fully preserved town wall with its three massive towers and its series
of smaller look-out towers, surrounds a network of picturesque alleys
and corners, burger houses dating back to the 16th century and leafy
arbours with their individual charm. The imaginative restoration work
carried out has breathed new life into this town while retaining all its
original features.

 Sluderno
The largest private armoury in the Alps can be found at
Chur
Castle at Sluderno. From here, at daybreak you will find the
best view of the Ortler. Whether it was this that inspired the famous
chamois hunter Josef Pichler, known as "Pseyrer Josele", to be the first
man to climb the 3,905 m high Ortler 200 years ago remains uncertain.
Even though, the castle at Chur is very interesting and well worth a
visit. This is where you will be able to read an account of the first
ascent of the Ortler.

 Lasa
Marble from Lasa was the Habsburgs’ favourite stone, although it
has also been widely used to produce a multitude of statues as far
afield as New York, London, Berlin and Munich. Perhaps the most imposing
example is the statue of Pallas Athena outside the parliament building
in the Vienna Ringstrasse. "Carrara is rubbish, but Lasa is living" was
the view of the Bavarian sculptor Ludwig Schwanthaler. Up to a height of
2,500 m, the mountain range to the south of Lasa in the South Tyrol
consists of millions of cubic metres of white marble. Lasa marble is one
of the most weather-resistant stones in the world. The largest
excavation gallery with a height of 2,228 metres is initially being
worked using a cable car. The work is supervised by Georg Josef Lechner,
the fourth of the legendary "Marble Lechners".

 Burgeis
The history of an entire valley and of an area even further afield has
been influenced by the Marienberg monastery. Above Burgeis, the
mighty white stone built monastery stands guard over centuries of the
history and culture of this region and its people. More
