spa-city of Meran, and stretches southwesterly to the Stilfser Joch National
Park and to the Ortler massif running through all vegetative strata, from the
vineyards and chestnut trees up to the alpine pastures and the ice of the
glaciers. Over hundreds of years the diligent people of Ulten have made of this
natural landscape with all its contrasts one of the most beautiful mountain
valleys of South Tyrol. To the left and to the right of the valley ancient
farmhouses are scattered up to an altitude of 1,800 m. These typical farmsteads
consisting of a barn/cowshed and a residential building harmonically fit in with
the landscape. 50% of the local population still lives in theses farmsteads.
They continue to live there because they are attached to their home and at the
same time they take care of the natural landscape. The four villages of the
valley: St. Pankraz (an indepent municipality), St. Walburg, St. Nikolaus and
