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.

The Venosta Valley is home to numerous churches, monasteries and convents of cultural and historical importance, some of which date back more than 10 centuries.

Along the old farmhouses and barns, visitors will encounter many reminders of a harsh life full of privation.

Today, there are 83 pastures in the Venosta Valley with a total area of 37,000 hectares and located an altitude of more than 2000m, which are still farmed.
