At an elevation of 1,519 m your heart beats faster.

You've always wanted to be way up there? Welcome to St. Gertraud, the highest village in the hiking wonderland of Ultental/Deutschnonsberg! At an altitude of 1,519 metres you'll be greeted by a little church from where people have been able to enjoy the spectacular view down into the Falschauer valley for over 700 years. You almost think you can even see Meran, which is 40 kilometres away...


St. Gertraud, where ancient farmhouses are located on the sunny slope, is the starting point for unforgettable mountain hikes all the way down to the Martell and Rabbital valleys. But you can also take the road up to Weißbrunn, into the heart of the highest Ulten mountains in the Stilfser Joch National Park and very close to the Ortler region, just to lie around in the pastures and relax in the sun or go fishing for trouts in the crystal-clear mountain lakes.

And last but not least, you should not miss seeing a true natural wonder: the famous ancient Ulten larches, more than 2,000 years old and at a circumference of up to 8.20 metres, a proud 28 metres tall.
