Watles

Watles, Alpine summit in South Tyrol, Italy

Description

Watles is a mountain summit in South Tyrol that rises to 2,555 meters (8,383 feet) and contains several marked trails. These routes pass through Alpine meadows and connect different elevations across the terrain.

History

The mountain paths at Watles developed from old trade routes that connected the Venosta Valley with neighboring Alpine regions. These routes served merchants and travelers for centuries.

Culture

The chairlift station at Prämajur marks the starting point for both winter sports activities and summer hiking expeditions in local tradition.

Practical

A chairlift carries visitors to 2,150 meters (7,055 feet) and operates during both summer and winter seasons. From this point, hikers or winter sports enthusiasts can explore the different trails on their own.

At the Prämajur station sits the Spielesee, a high-altitude mountain lake with limited water surface. This spot offers refreshment in summer and is visited by families seeking to swim at elevation.
