Ratschings/Racines is synonym of peace and quiet, horse riding, bicycling or just relaxing... in other words a place where you feel like home!
It consists of three valleys - Ridanna/Ridnaun, Racines/Ratschings and Giovo/Jaufen - in addition to the Giovo Pass. The municipality of Racines/Ratschings has the sixth largest surface area of the entire Southern Tyrol region, with just a few inhabitants scattered over small picturesque towns. Starting from 980 m , the inhabited part of the valleys reaches an altitude of 1,520 m, while certain excursions or climbs will even take you up to a height of 3,507 m! There is no traffic in these valleys since all the roads lead to and end in the mountains! This is why the three Racines/Ratschings valleys can be defined, without exaggerating, as "the valleys of tranquillity embraced by nature"! Countless excursion routes lead to sunny Alpine summer pastures and continue up to the magnificent reign of the glaciers. Breathe deep, gaze upon the wonders of nature, and savour everything.
Go horse riding, take a bike ride, laze around... just feel good!
