Mareta is located at the valley entrance of Val Ridanna at an altitude of 1,050 m, only 8 km from Vipiteno. Some 625 inhabitants live in this beauty spot in the heart of lushly green meadows and forests. What you should not miss at all is a visit to the San Pancrazio church and the gemstone grinding shop with showroom.
Those who love to spend active holidays can go promenading on the circular trail of Mareta or along the nature educational trail. Moreover there is the possibility make a pleasant cycling tour along the cycling trail stretching along the Rio di Mareta, leading to the city of Vipiteno. In winter, however, you can enjoy ice skating, exercise on the circular ski run Casateia-Stanghe-Mareto or have a carefree afternoon on the short toboggan run, together with your beloved ones.
A real gem enthrones the hill above Mareta, that is to say Wolfsthurn Castle, a Baroque castle complex. In the first floor it hosts the Provincial museum for hunting and fishing, dedicating also space to popular arts, while the second floor concentrates on the animated history of the castle.
