Anras

Altitude: 900 - 1,261 metres a.s.l.

The village of Anras on the sunny terrace of the Alta Pusteria strikes its visitors with stunning panoramic views. The buildings of the locality extend from the valley floor to an altitude of 1,200 m a.s.l. The numerous Rhaetic remains found in this area vouch for a history of settlements dating back 2,000 years.

The wide range of leisure activities is seemingly endless. The village features a tennis court as well as an extensive network of mountain bike itineraries and hiking, walking and nordic walking paths in the quiet nature of this area, far away from everyday life. The bishops of Bressanone built their summer residence in Anras where they hid from the heat in the summer months. For two centuries the residence also served as a court.

We recommend a visit to the Pfleggerichtshaus Schloss Anras and its museum. In 1991 this palace was purchased and carefully restored by the Messerschmitt-Stiftung. The court museum retraces criminal processes from 1499 until today and was inaugurated following the conclusion of the works. Today the museum also hosts several concerts and events.
