Welcome to Klausen

A place of reflection on the Säben hill: Säben Monastery. Once a bishop’s seat and later home to Benedictine nuns, since autumn 2024 pastoral care for pilgrims has been overseen by Heiligenkreuz Abbey.

When autumn arrives, the fifth season begins in Brixen Südtirol: Törggelen. A living tradition, best experienced alongside a walk through the chestnut groves.

Winemakers in the Isarco Valley are passionate about their grapes, producing outstanding wines. In Italy’s northernmost wine-growing region, mineral-rich soils create the perfect conditions for fresh, expressive wines.

90 kilometres long and running through Brixen Südtirol: the Keschtnweg trail, starting in Vahrn, is one of the most beautiful ways to explore the region while tasting chestnuts and new wine.

Housed in a former Capuchin monastery, the museum features remarkable collections, including the unique Loreto Treasure and a permanent exhibition of the Klausen artists’ colony. Well worth a visit.

Narrow streets, colourful houses and artists’ studios - in Klausen, culture and lifestyle seamlessly blend. This medieval town, shaped by the imposing Säben hill, is one of the most beautiful in Italy.

Browse local shops, watch artisans at work and take home a regional product: shopping in Klausen is a pleasure. Many businesses have been family-run for generations.

Just seven kilometres from Brixen, the Plose opens up a sunny winter sports area and is part of Dolomiti Superski: 40 kilometres of slopes, seven lifts and runs for all levels.

With 55 kilometres of pistes, reliable snow conditions and a sunny south-facing slope overlooking the Dolomites, Gitschberg Jochtal offers variety for beginners, challenges for experts and plenty of space for families.
