In addition, it can be used for ice-skating during the winter months.

Messner Mountain Museum Firmian
This museum is part of Castle Sigmundskron near Bozen.

During a circular walk with exhibitions and six towers, in which he speaks about the creation, majesty and conquests in the mountains, visitors can gain some insight into the mountainous world. Combining arts, religion and other impressions, Reinhold Messner and the congenial architect Werner Tscholl were able to create a work of art, which truly is second to none. In many ways unique and a must-see!

’Ötzi’ – the Ice-Man
More than 5,300 years ago, a man walked up into the icy heights of the Schnals Valley glaciers and died there in mysterious circumstances. In 1991, German tourists discovered him by chance. The unique glacier mummy with his clothes and tools turned out to be an archaeological world sensation and as a unique snap shot of mankind during the Copper Age! After many years of researching the mummy through a highly specialised research team, the internationally renowned ice-man is exhibited with his tools in the South Tyrolean Archaeological Museum in Bozen.
