Schnals - Senales

Schnals–Senales is best known in South Tyrol for the 1991 discovery of Ötzi, the Copper Age mummy found at the Tisenjoch pass in the Ötztal Alps. The municipality extends along the high Senales Valley, where farms and small settlements lie beneath glaciated alpine terrain. The archaeological find is presented at Bolzano’s South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, while its discovery site near the Austrian border has made this valley central to the story of early Alpine travel. Karthaus, once a Carthusian monastery, adds a quieter historical layer to the route through the valley. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Senales Valley.
