At the top of the Passeiertal Valley, just a stone’s throw from the spa town of Meran/Merano, the villages of Riffian/Rifiano and Kuens/Caines invite tourists to explore the Hirzer and Texel Group mountain worlds. Just a few kilometres further on, on the west bank of the Passer River, visitors will find the municipality of St.Martin/ S. Martino, where venerable old buildings stand side by side with modern shops. St.Leonhard/ S. Leonardo, the main village in the valley, lies at the foot of the Jaufenpass pass and is a well-established holiday resort offering a wide range of sports and recreational activities. The mountain villages of Hinterpasseier, on the other hand, have retained their archetypical, high Alpine character – Moos/ Moso, steeped in tradition, or sun-kissed Stuls/ Stulles, Platt/ Plata, Rabenstein/ Corvara and “soft mobility” Pfelders/ Plan all offer perfect conditions for a relaxing holiday, at one with nature.
