Holidays in the Val Casies

The Gsieser Valley is easily reachable from Monguelfo in a Northerly direction. It is a side valley of the Puster Valley - about 18 km long, wide and sunny. The hillsides of the Gsieser Valley offer a splendid view of fir forests between the impressive peaks of the Vedrette di Ries and the Defregger mountain chain. Nature in this valley is still unspoilt, the air is pure and fresh, and you are guaranteed peace, quietness and relaxation.

The valley begins with the pittoresque villages of Colle (the lowest village), San Martino and Santa Maddalena. The last farms from this valley are located at 1,530 m above sea level.
The community consists of approximately 2,000 inhabitants. The main income streams are tourism and agriculture, which have given the village the character it has today. This wide and quiet valley offers relaxation, tranquillity, a lot of nature, fresh air and - thanks to the busy, diligent farmers - an unspoilt environment and unstirred nature.
