Messner Mountain Museum Ortles
| | |
In the village of Solda in Val Venosta valley, under the famous mountain peak Ortles, the Messner Mountain Museum Ortles can be found.
The museum, built by the famous mountaineer Reinhold Messner, is dedicated to the eternal ice and shows "the horrors of the glaciers" in homage to the novel by Christoph Ransmayr.
In this Alpine museum you can find out about the glaciers, ice men, the North Pole and South Pole and curiosities about rare alpine history, collected by Reinhold Messner in his many journeys.
The museum is located underground and a window indented gives the impression of being in first person in an icy crevasse. From a certain point also the snow top of the Ortles peak is visible, which is also like a painting in the exhibition.
Solda all'Ortles is the highest mountain village and one of the most famous ski resorts in South Tyrol. The village is located directly under the Ortles peak.
It is an ideal place to explore the theme of ice: the museum was set up underground, as if it were a cave, and illustrates the world of skiing, ice climbing and expeditions to the poles.
The visitor goes, in the true sense of the term, into the mountains. Inside you can get an idea of the glaciers of the South Pole and North Pole and the force of avalanches..
Outside the ice is real, and at the adjacent restaurant, Yak and Yeti, you can enjoy, South Tyrolean specialties,and also "Momo", a typical dish of the Himalayas, the land of snow.
Higher above on the Ortles hills, the Yaks graze, which Reinhold Messner tries to adapt to our mountains, experiencing a new future for the economy of the mountain.
