Among the communities of South Tyrol, Völs am Schlern—Fiè allo Sciliar stands out for its setting beneath the unmistakable Schlern/Sciliar massif in the Dolomites. The mountain’s broad, recognisable profile dominates this part of the UNESCO-listed Dolomite range. Völser Weiher, a small lake near the village, is used for swimming in summer and sits amid woodland at the foot of the massif. Prösels Castle, begun in the 13th century and remodelled in the Renaissance period, recalls the influence of the Lords of Völs. The town’s German and Italian names reflect South Tyrol’s multilingual identity. Browse other webcams across South Tyrol and the Dolomites to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
