A popular custom among aficionados of ancient traditions is the ritual of the launching of burning disks, the so-called "Scheibenschlagen", which takes place annually in Venosta Valley.

Kite surfers, paragliders, mountain climbers and rafters will all find plenty of action and fun in Venosta Valley.

Venosta Valley is the largest dry valley in the Alps, with less than 500mm of rainfall per year and being characterized by sunny days and cool winds at night.

The cultivation of grain was once a central part of agriculture in the Upper Venosta Valley, and gave to the valley the nickname "the Granary of Tyrol".
