Naturns and the surrounding villages of Plaus, Tschirland, Tabland and Staben are not only known for their stunning natural scenery but also for their diverse calendar of events. Throughout the year, visitors can enjoy a wide range of events in Naturns that combine tradition, culinary delights, sports and culture.
The event season begins in spring with the Naturns Mountain Spring along the Merano High Mountain Trail, the popular Spring Festival held at the town hall car park, and the Alpenplus Ötzi Trailrun, an exciting trail running event that attracts athletes from near and far. Early summer is all about regional flavours and live music, with highlights such as South Tyrol Speck Day and Naturns Alpine Pastures Unplugged, where local cuisine and acoustic performances come together in the breathtaking mountain landscape of South Tyrol.
Summer also brings a vibrant programme of events. During the Night of Lights, the village centre is transformed into a lively street festival filled with music, lights and unforgettable experiences.
