Spring: The Gentle Awakening of the Senses

Spring in Lüsen and Villnöss means watching nature awaken – slowly, quietly, and enchantingly. As the Dolomites come back to life after the long winter, the region shows its most colorful side. Blooming apple trees, vibrant crocuses, and lush alpine meadows transform the valleys into a true spring paradise. Between untouched nature, imposing Dolomite peaks, and colorful alpine meadows, you will find peace and relaxation. 

The valleys are shrouded in soothing silence, interrupted only by the rustling of the wind in the treetops, the chirping of birds, and the relaxed splashing of the streams.

Gentle Spring Hiking & Theme Trails

Nature invites you to conscious enjoyment – whether on gentle hikes through blooming meadows or along quiet paths. Numerous theme trails offer varied ways to discover spring: On the Mountain Farmer and Panorama Trail between St. Peter and St. Magdalena, you can experience the apple blossom up close, while the Alpine Meadow Trail or the Legend Hike in Lüsen offer exciting insights into the region. 

Every hike is accompanied by impressive views of the vastness of the Lüsner Alm, the Geisler Group, and the Peitlerkofel.

Culture & Living Tradition

A special cultural highlight is the Lüsen Culture Hike, which leads along historical craft sites such as a mill, forge, and sawmill, bringing the traditions of the valleys to life. 

In addition, traditional spring festivals invite you to experience the local culture authentically and welcome the season together within the community.

Villnöss Music Band celebrates 225 years

"Tradition for our future" The Villnöss Music Band celebrates its 225th anniversary this year. The highlight of this jubilee will be the festival from May 29 to 31, 2026, in St. Peter/Villnöss, to which we warmly invite you from near and far.

For 225 years, brass music has resonated in Villnöss, connecting people and shaping generations. With the motto "Tradition for our future," we want to look not only back but, above all, forward. This anniversary offers an opportunity to pause briefly and realize the value of music for our village and our community. Music creates encounters, cohesion, and identity—values that should also carry future generations.

Vitality & Herbal Knowledge

The healing power of nature is particularly impressive during this season. Herbal hikes, aromatic incense rituals, and fascinating insights into the world of traditional medicinal plants turn spring experiences into a holistic journey for body and soul. 

Ancient knowledge about herbs and their effects comes alive here—tangible with all senses, authentic, and unforgettable
