Klausen, the artists’ town in South Tyrol
The Säben monastery and other sights
Winding cobbled streets, narrow town houses with protruding oriels and historical inn signs: Klausen hides special details around every corner.
There’s a reason Albrecht Dürer and many other artists over the centuries fell under the spell of this small town along the Eisack river.
We are pretty sure you will, too!
Shopping and sightseeing
Forget the rushed feeling of big towns:
in Klausen, you can take your time strolling along ancient alleys
and browsing for South Tyrolean souvenirs among the charming shops in the historical centre.
Savour the atmosphere as you sip an aperitif in one of the many cafés.
The mystical allure of the Säben monastery
The walk from Klausen to the mountain on which the monastery towers is an experience in itself. Within the historical monastery walls, you will find the most ancient pilgrimage site in Tyrol, and the feeling of being in a unique spiritual place of power.
Wine tastings at the Eisacktaler Kellerei winery
Excellent wines meet contemporary architecture: take a guided tour of the winery and participate in a wine tasting to learn how winegrowing is done in the Eisacktal valley and discover more about South Tyrol’s wine culture.

South Tyrol’s swimming lakes
Splashing around against a wonderful natural backdrop. There are several lakes in South Tyrol where you can take a refreshing dip in the summer. The Kalterersee lake, embedded in the vineyard of Kaltern, is the warmest lake in the Italian Alps.
The two Montiggler lakes in Eppan and the Völser Weiher tarn also offer idyllic sylvan settings for a swim.
