The main attractions of the northernmost municipality of South Tyrol are the Holy Spirit chapel, the mining museum and the climate centre
The municipality of Predoi with its 650 inhabitants comprises the eponymous administrative centre and the hamlet of Casere at the end of the valley. The coat of arms of Predoi testifies for its eventful past as an important village for mining. Here, copper was extracted already in Prehistoric times and the mine was in use until 1893.
The strategic position of Predoi attracted many merchants who used the main roads leading to the Forcella del Picco and Forcella di Campo. Today, those routes are covered by hikers, alpinists and people seeking to discover the Vedrette di Ries-Aurina nature park. Monte Fumo, Picco dei Tre Signori, Gran Lovello and Pizzo Rosso di Predoi and many other summits are frequently conquered by experienced alpinists.
We highly recommend a visit to the visitor centre in Casere and the mining museum of Predoi. The climate centre is a specifically tailored venue for people suffering from respiratory problems. The Holy Spirit chapel at the end of the valley is also worth a visit. Ask the locals to tell you about the legend of this chapel before undertaking a challenging tour in the mountains or a relaxing winter hike.
