Should there nevertheless be a rainy day, it is a real must to visit the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. Not far from Walther Square and the medieval arcades, it is ideally situated in the centre of Bolzano. Experience 5,000 years of human history and visit the world-famous glacier mummy.

 

For those who like to be active, we recommend a hike to the place where the glacier mummy was found.  In 1991, German tourists found the ice man near the Austrian border on 3,210 m in the Oetztal Alps. This place can best be reached from the Schnalstal Valley in the Vinschgau Valley, where you can also find the ArcheoParc Senales, an interactive museum, whereyou have the possibility to see and try techniques from the Stone Age.
