Messner Mountain Museum

The course, designed in collaboration with Reinhold Messner, also incorporates the surroundings of Sigmundskron Castle. The fortress, which towers over Bolzano, offers a view of the Texel Group and the Ötztal Alps, as well as the majestic Schlern. Even Bolzano, visible in the foreground, and the highway running through the mountain are included in the overall concept: they show how man lives with the mountain today.

MMM Firmian is an expansive and exciting experiential space that is walked clockwise around the central castle rock with its 10th century chapel. Since visitors are expected to explore the tour at their own pace and rhythm, no guided tours are offered.
