Culture & Events

In the Tauferer Ahrntal, culture-seeking guests won't be disappointed. Tradition and heritage combined with the openess and hospitality of the Ahrntal residents is characteristic to this region. On your next holiday, experience regional practises and specialities of this pristine South Tyrolean valley. An excursion to the mediaeval Taufers Castle in the main city in the Ahrntal, Sand in Taufers, is perfect for families.

Visit the Schaubergwerk Prettau, a mine which you can see first-hand, and check out the Bergbaumuseum Steinhaus, a mining museum which tells the history of mining in the Ahrntal with exciting and interesting models and presentations - both are favourite family destinations. The Mineralienmuseum von Josef Kirchler is a mineral collection in St. Johann and explains how the Alps came to be and tells their colourful history.  And the Krippen- und Volkskunstmuseum Maranatha in Luttach, which presents Nativity scenes and other local arts and crafts, is a unique day trip.

You will witness traditional customs with the Autumn Alm Cattle Drives in Rein, which are part of a traditional festival, and don't miss out on visiting an Ahrntal tatting manufacturer. Using this technique, high-quality lace and doilies, made in a century old tradition, are produced with much dedication and skill .    Many interesting cultural events await you and your cultural holiday in the Tauferer Ahrntal!
