Brunico - Bruneck

Colourful like the seasons - its central location is not the only reason for the picturesque town of Brunico-Bruneck being the heart and soul of the verdant Pustertal Valley.

The Val Badia-Gadertal Valleyextends towards the mountain world of the Dolomites in the south, the Ahrntal Valley meets the glacier world of the Zillertaler Alps in the north. A small big world as colourful as the seasons and whose range of recreational activities is practically inexhaustible. Numerous natural recreational and sports activities 365 days a year are just as alluring as the many equally popular successful sports and cultural events.

Brunico-Bruneck was first mentioned in a document in 1256. Shortly afterwards Brunico-Bruneck became the economical centre of the Pustertal Valley. Today, our town is geared towards the tourism trade and offers all of the prerequisites necessary for an interesting, varied, relaxing vacation.
