Sillian in summer
-
Strolling, hiking, mountaineering: here everything is possible. Whether you want to go on one of the easier circular walks, a cross-border hike or more difficult mountain climbs – there’s many different possibilities, also in the bordering South Tyrol or the neighboring “Defereggental”. In the center of the “Hochpustertal” lies the “Villgratental”, with its beautiful, cozy alpine cabins. In the summer this is also an attraction for our younger guests, since you can find a variety of animals on the fields – whether it be cows or sheep. Visitors especially love the peace and quiet that this region radiates. Moreover, the “Villgratental” also offers a variety of hiking possibilities
