With its picturesque streets, beautiful church, and stunning mountain views, it's no wonder why many consider it one of the best towns in the Dolomites.

It offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit every budget, from cosy guesthouses to luxurious hotels. You will delight in the delicious Italian and Südtirol dishes served at the local restaurants here, plenty of opportunity to explore the nearby trails and take in the breathtaking scenery.
