Vols am Schlern - Fie allo Sciliar: Fié - Camera 3
Built around a network of mountain farms, Völs am Schlern–Fiè allo Sciliar grew into a dispersed South Tyrolean municipality on the slopes beneath the Sciliar massif. Rather than forming one compact town, its hamlets, pastures and wooded ground spread across the lower mountains above the Eisack Valley. The municipality is closely associated with the Sciliar and the Alpe di Siusi, the broad Dolomite plateau that begins nearby. Prösels Castle, a medieval fortress later reshaped in Renaissance style by Leonhard von Völs, is one of its defining historic sites. The paired German and Italian names reflect South Tyrol’s bilingual identity, while farming remains central to the settled landscape.
