If you rather want a bit more relaxation you can wind down in the Olympic indoor pool of Maso Corto. Besides a large sports pool and sauna area there is also a steam bath and massage area.
Cultural input during your holiday here is also possible: In the "ArcheoPark Schnals" you can follow the ice man Ötzi's trails. This ice mummy was found in September 1991 by German couple hiking in close proximity to the Val Senales ski area. An exhibition on this particular find can be seen at the mountain station of the glacier lift.
