Val Senales, a side valley of Val Venosta, is an unspoiled place that stretches all the way to the imposing glaciers that frame it. There are several walks and activities you can enjoy here; here are a few ideas:
CASTEL JUVAL
Located at the entrance to this valley, the castle is part of the Messner Mountain Museum circuit and serves as the famous climber’s summer residence. Inside, you’ll find a collection of artifacts from the Tibetan mountains and much more. All the details HERE.
LAKE VERNAGO
An artificial lake located at an altitude of 1,700 meters, where you can walk all the way around its shores. In the spring, you can see the bell tower of the church that was submerged after the dam was built. You can continue your hike to Maso Finailhof, one of South Tyrol’s most beautiful and historic high-altitude farmsteads. More info HERE. 
BERGL ALM
This hike takes about two hours and involves a 300-meter elevation gain; the first half-hour is the most challenging, with a trail through the woods followed by a gentle up-and-down section. The mountain hut is very well-maintained and serves excellent traditional Tyrolean cuisine. All the details are HERE.
