In summer, the Ski- & adventure mountain Watles above Burgeis/ Burgusio and Mals/ Malles turns into an ideal starting point for hiking along well-signposted trails, with breathtaking views over the Upper Vinschgau Valley and the surrounding mountain peaks. In winter, Watles is a particularly popular ski area in the border triangle of Northwest Italy, a mere stone's throw from Switzerland and Austria, and is well known for its many hours of sunshine.
