Ski holidays Tarrenz - Historic mountain village in Gurgltal!

Tarrenz

At the entrance to the Gurgltal valley, at an altitude of 836 metres, lies the small village of Tarrenz, nestling beautifully in the landscape. The village, which is steeped in history and known as the "witches" village’, is a classic Tyrolean mountain village with a long tradition as a mining centre. The old village centre with its mighty farmsteads bears witness to a rich culture that is still very much alive there. A cultural highlight is the over 700-year-old Starkenberg Castle, where visitors can learn how noble knights once resided. A brewery here also invites you to take a guided tour and visit the world's first beer swimming pool.
