Villandro (Villanders in German) is one of the most famous tourist destinations of the Inn Valley, in the province of Bolzano, softly on a sunny hillside covered with vineyards stretching up to the high pastures and the peak of Mount Villandro ( 2509 meters). Once a trading hub of copper, lead and silver extracted from the mines located above the village, today it is the ideal destination for those looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday, characterized by walking in the open air crystal clear streams and woods, as well as for those who prefer a dynamic experience with excursions to the summit of Mount Villandro. In Winter the Dolomiti Superski facilities ensure maximum enjoyment for lovers of snow, thanks to the equipped ski skiing and snowboarding tours, snowshoeing or ski tours.
Archaeological finds unearthed in the last twenty years in the Plunacker area attest that the territory of Villandro was continuously inhabited since the Mesolithic period until the Roman occupation. But the country's history is also closely linked to the mining activity: already 3000 years ago, in fact, the miners started to extract from the Seeberg, silver, copper, zinc and lead. In particular, the silver was in great demand by the Austrian rulers and bishops of Brixen.
A curiosity: the Hotel Zum Steinbock (XII century) was the background to the "Last call to arms" of the painter Franz von Defregger.
