The Fane Alm is located in the back of the Vals Valley and is a community alpine pasture consisting of residential huts, hay huts, cattle stables, a small church and three alpine taverns.
It was founded in the Middle Ages when the plague was raging in the country and people found protection from the plague in the remote high valley.
The alpine village remained intact even after the plague subsided and the population returned to the valley and has survived to this day.

Hiking

The South Tyroleans call it Fane, and on hiking maps it is referred to as Fanealm or Fane Alm. The Italians call it Malga Fane. This always refers to the rustic alpine village above Mühlbach in the Valsertal, embedded in the spectacular mountain scenery of the Pfunderer Mountains. This is how you imagine a picture-book alpine pasture in the Alps! The Fane Alm consists of shingle-covered residential and hay huts, a small church and three alpine taverns on a lush green alpine meadow. The Fane Alm is rightly called the most beautiful alpine village in South Tyrol.
