The contemplative and romantic Völs am Schlern, with its vineyards at 315m and Alpine meadows at 2,564m above sea level, offers colourful and varied vegetation and is characterised by its
mild climate. Close to Bozen/Bolzano, Völs am Schlern has evolved from traditional village with a fresh summer climate into a health resort in a breathtakingly beautiful location. For over 100 years, guests on holiday in Völs am Schlern have enjoyed natural wellness in the form of the traditional Völser hay bath. The Völser Weiher lake, one of the cleanest bathing lakes in Italy, rounds off the wellness experience.
A holiday in Völs am Schlern also comes up trumps for its culinary and musical excellence: October is dedicated to the regional specialities of the
Völser culinary repertoire, it is also dedicated to
Törggelen. All year round, connoisseurs enjoy
regional products and fine wines from the ambitious and committed
winegrowers of Völs, whose labels have won international awards, thus making Völs am Schlern a small but fine wine-growing community. Those interested in culture can visit Prösels Castle, the
art gallery in the village,
churches and chapels and the biennial
Schlern Music Festival.
