Welcome in Martello in South Tyrol

Martello in the holiday region Val Venosta

Val Martello, a side valley in the tourist region of Val Venosta, is distinguished by its many contrasts. It extends for more than 20 km, from an altitude of 950 m to the peak of Cevedale at 3,769 m, and lies in the heart of the Stelvio Nature Park. In both summer and winter, Martello is a very popular destination for excursions and, at the same time, a much visited holiday resort.

As the highest and largest strawberry growing area in Europe, in recent years Val Martello has became known far beyond the borders of South Tyrol. Thanks to the ideal climate conditions and the pure mountain air, Val Martello strawberries are particularly sweet and tasty. Every year, in the last week in June, at the Strawberry Festival, everything in the sunny valley in South Tyrol is focussed on this red fruit. A giant strawberry cake and the crowning of the Strawberry Queen are the high spots of the event.

But Martello, in Val Venosta, can also enchant lovers of culture. Tourists can visit the Chapel of Santa Maria at the Foundry, the dam, known as the “Bau” by the local inhabitants, and the Culturamartell Visitors’ Centre in the Stelvio Nature Park. This charming resort is also an ideal base for exploring other attractions in the vicinity, such as the Latsch Menhir or Schloss Goldrain. In short: Val Martello, in Val Venosta, has lots to offer!
