A little further into the valley, after the village of Rasun di Sotto, the houses, shops and farms of Rasun di Sopra come into view. The Rio Anterselva flows right through the centre of the village, where the fairground and the cultural centre are located, and several historic residences dominate the landscape. One of the most famous is the Heufler Residence along the road, which houses a restaurant. The noble seat was already built in 1580 AD - its "Hearnstube", the dialect expression for gentlemen's room, has one of the most beautiful Renaissance panellings in South Tyrol.
Rasun di Sopra is home to the Rasner Möser, a valuable and well-known moorland and floodplain with frogs and fish, which has become a popular recreational area for families over the years. A walkway on boardwalks runs through this protected wetland, which is a biotope. Here you will find information about the local flora and fauna. The sundew grows here, the only carnivorous plant in South Tyrol: It has tentacles that exude a sticky secretion to catch flies and other insects.
In winter, two toboggan runs between Rasun di Sotto and Rasun di Sopra (Oberrasen) invite you to a family excursion. Cross-country ski tracks wind through the Anterselva Valley, one of them is the Anterselva di Sotto round track with connection to Rasun or to the South Tyrol Arena. Where this biathlon centre hosts the World Championships, the snow-covered Lake Anterselva has a special fascination. At the Montale Hut (Steinzger Alm) and the Passo Stalle , both above the lake, which shimmers dark green in summer, two more sledge runs start, leading all the way down to the lake.
