Ahrntal - Valle Aurina

The landscape around Ahrntal–Valle Aurina is a steep high-Alpine valley traced by the Ahr River, which has shaped both the pattern of its scattered settlements and the local economy. In northern South Tyrol near the Austrian border, the valley is framed by the Zillertal Alps. Steinhaus (Cadipietra), one of its principal settlements, is closely linked to the Klausberg mountain area. Farther up the valley, Prettau preserves evidence of centuries of copper mining; this industrial chapter is interpreted at the Prettau site of the South Tyrol Museum of Mining. German and Italian place names reflect the province’s bilingual character. Browse other webcams across South Tyrol to place this Alpine valley in a wider geographic context.
