The Antholz Valley is a valuable natural habitat and living space. Our mountains, forests, and waters shape our valley and our quality of life. However, climate change presents us with new challenges – through rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events.
With the development of a climate change adaptation plan and the municipality’s climate plan, we are actively shaping this path with foresight. Risks are being analyzed, concrete measures defined, and the long-term resilience of our valley strengthened.
Only together can we secure the future of our valley – as a municipality, as businesses, as people who call this place home, and as guests who value and visit our valley.
Climate change is already noticeably affecting our region: mild winters, hot summers, and irregular precipitation. These developments impact snow reliability, water resources, flora and fauna, as well as tourism offerings.
The mountains remain a special place to relax – even as the seasons change. Winter tends to bring less snow, but it also creates opportunities for new nature-based experiences and peaceful breaks in the clear mountain air. At the same time, spring, summer, and autumn are becoming longer – ideal for those seeking a conscious “coolcation” in the mountains.
Therefore, it is more important than ever that we all do our part – by treating nature with care, conserving resources, and consciously choosing sustainable services and mobility options.
Even small changes in everyday life help to shape our region sustainably.
You too can play an active part:
Every mindful decision helps to preserve our mountain world in a sustainable way.
STRATEGIES FOR A RESILIENT AND FUTURE-ORIENTED DESTINATION
To actively address climate challenges, the destinations of Antholz Valley and Olang have jointly developed a climate change adaptation plan as well as an action plan. These define and prioritize key measures to ensure the region remains resilient and fit for the future in the long term.
Measures already implemented or currently in progress include:
Further measures are continuously being developed and implemented in cooperation with municipalities, accommodations and local partners.
At the same time, the Climate Plan of the Municipality of Rasen-Antholz defines concrete measures to reduce CO₂ emissions, strengthen sustainable forms of mobility, and increase energy efficiency. The goal is to actively prepare the Antholz Valley for climatic changes and to guide the region’s development in an environmentally and climate-friendly direction over the long term.

Tourism in the Puster Valley – like in many Alpine regions – is facing growing climate-related challenges that affect both winter and summer tourism. Our roadmap outlines how we can address these changes in a forward-looking and determined way: with concrete measures, clearly defined responsibilities, and step-by-step implementation. It serves as a strategic guide for the sustainable, resilient, and future-oriented development of tourism.
