Falzes, the main village of the eponymous municipality, is situated at 1,022 m a.s.l. and was first mentioned as "Phalanza" in written documents from 1050. It is situated on the sunny high plateau overlooking the Val Pusteria and is known for having been a quiet natural oasis since Roman times.
Falzes is the starting and end point of the Alta Via di Fundres, a multi-stage high-altitude route through the mountains of Fundres and the Zillertal Alps. The most popular hikes in this area lead up to Monte Sommo and the Cima Bärental. The theme path "Le pietre raccontano" dedicated to rocks, is particularly suitable for families with children. In winter you can undertake unforgettable snowshoe hikes.
Winter sports lovers will find different cross-country ski tracks and a sledge run on the Lothener Köfl. The Plan de Corones skiing area is easily accessible in a few minute drive.
We recommend visiting the St. Cyriak church in the village centre. Impressive horse chestnut trees line the access to the monument. Another attraction not to miss is the romantic St. Valentine church outside of the centre.
Castel Sichelburg is an important historical building characterised by its unique architecture and by an oriel on its façade.
