A ski touring area couldn't be more varied than Val Pusteria. The valley, also known as Val Pusteria, stretches from South Tyrol in Italy to East Tyrol in Austria and offers a paradise for ski tourers on the sunny side of the main Alpine ridge. The Rother ski touring guide "Val Pusteria" presents 57 of the most beautiful tours in this snow-sure region, including in the Tauferer Tal, Ahrntal, Villgraten and in the world-famous Dolomites.

In Val Pusteria/Pustertal, the ski touring season starts in early winter and often lasts until late spring. The variety of ski tours leaves nothing to be desired: From easy routes for beginners to challenging summit ascents for experienced ski tourers, there is something for every ability. The tours lead through the majestic mountain world of the Pfunderer mountains, Zillertal Alps, Rieserferner group, Villgratner mountains, Lienz Dolomites and over the Carnic main ridge. A highlight is the ski tour around the legendary Three Peaks, whose striking rock formations characterise the Dolomite world. Along the ski tours, rustic mountain huts invite you to take a break and enjoy typical South Tyrolean specialities - the book provides many culinary recommendations.

Each tour in the book is described in detail and includes all the important information: Route description, tour maps with route, altitude profile and tested GPS tracks ensure safe orientation on the way. The ski touring guide also contains essential information on altitude differences, walking times, avalanche risk, slope orientation and the optimal route.
