Welcome to the Official Internet Website of the Tourism Agency of Barbian/Barbiano!

The Mediterranean flair of Barbian/Barbiano starts with its leaning church tower – which is apparently even more slanted than the famed Leaning Tower of Pisa. But your vacation pleasure here will still be on the straight and narrow: Here, in the sunny mid-altitude foothills (830 meters above sea-level,) the conditions are perfect for exciting holiday experiences.

Discover the beauty of our valleys, with some of the most enchanting locations in the Alps. In spring and summer there is nothing to match the train-bicycle combination. Rent a bike in one of 13 railway station rentals and get the new BIKEPASS ALTO ADIGE for free.

In autumn when the days start to get shorter and nature dresses in a uniquely colourful cloak, then in the Eisack Valley it’s time for the year’s fifth season, Törggelen.
