Insights into the Villnöss mountain world
Reinhold Messner and the Villnöss Valley – Home of the Legend
Where it all began
In the Villnöss Valley, one of the greatest mountaineering stories in the world began: This is where Reinhold Messner grew up, climbing the walls of the Geisler peaks long before they became world-famous. His youth in the shadow of these Dolomites was the school of freedom – wild, real, untamed. Even today, you can feel his spirit among the rocks, paths and stories of the valley.
“I go to the mountains to be free.”
