Furthermore, this village is a popular destination for mountaineers, hikers, and climbers in the summer, as well as for skiers and winter sports enthusiasts in the Three Peaks Dolomites area in the winter. In addition to its unique natural surroundings, the village boasts vibrant traditions, Ladin-Tyrolean culture, and warm hospitality.
