The village of Laghetti has got about 1,300 inhabitants, is rich in architectonic jewels and provides interesting views.

On the northern edge of the village there is a pilgrims’ hospice which dates back to the 13th century, the so-called “Klösterle”. A peculiarity, as only a handful of these hospices, once along numerous paths, are still preserved today. Next to the hospice, there is the S. Floriano Church, a chapel in Roman construction style, which is one of the most ancient Christian sacred buildings of Tyrol.

Laghetti is also the starting point of the Dürerweg hiking trail, starting at the above mentioned hospice. Otherwise you can promenade through the fruit orchards below the mountain, down to Salorno. Along the Adige river, there is a section of the Via Claudia Augusta cycle track, stretching from Bolzano to Trento.
