Tesselberg is a small hillside hamlet. Together with Gais and Uttenheim, it forms the municipal area of Gais. Tesselberg has few inhabitants, everyday life seems very far away and of course there are several legends about this place. If you believe them, you should meet the "Tesselberger little men" on the way to the Tesselberger Alm, who used to dig for mineral resources. They are little elves who still live in the tunnel holes and are directly connected to the Untersberg in Salzburg. Another legend tells that Barbarossa - Emperor Redbeard - will pass by in Tesselberg when he restores his empire in the south...

Tesselberg, Montassilone in Italian, is located at 1485 m above sea level.
This town, which is located above Perca, has a magnificent Gothic style church. Only a few families live in this enchanting place which is part of the municipality of Gais. However, there is a beautiful hotel that offers peace, tranquility and magnificent excursions in both summer and winter for those who practice ski mountaineering. Worth remembering is the climb to the splendid mountain hut, the top of the Geige, the climb to the Kor and the Shonbichl or Bel Colle.
