Val senales

Val Senales (German: Schnalstal) has become famous all over the world for being the place where the Similaun mummy was found. The mummy was nicknamed “Ötzi” and it’s remembered even in the ArcheoPark, a prehistoric museum which illustrates the everyday life in South Tyrol during the time of Ötzi. Val Senales lies right before Val Venosta (German: Vinschgau, Ladin Val Venuesta) and it’s famous for skiing in Italy: it’s possible to ski even in summer, especially around Maso Corto (German: Kurzras). The Val Senales altitude varies from 1245 and 2011 metres and other attractions of this valley are: the didactic farm located at Madonna di Senales (German: Unser Frau) and Certosa (German: Karthaus) built on a convent ruins.
