South Tyrolean Archaeological Museum
More than 5,000 years ago, a man ascended the icy heights of the Schnals Valley glacier and died there.
In 1991, his mortal remains - together with his clothing and equipment, mummified and frozen - were accidentally discovered. This was an archaeological sensation providing a unique glimpse into the life of the man of the Chalcolithic Period.
The mummy has been accessible to the public in the South Tyrolean Archaeological Museum since March 1998.

MMM - Messner Mountain Museum
Mountains have the power to fascinate people and this is what Messner's Mountain Museum Firmian wants to suggest.
Reinhold Messner tells about the importance of the mountains for humanity in the old walls of Sigmundskron Castle, completed with a modern structure made by glass and steel.
The MMM Firmian focuses on mountains in art and on the history of alpinism.

The sunken church steeple of Curon
The remains of former Curon are now at the bottom of Lake Resia, an artificial lake for power production built in 1950.
All buildings except the church steeple which is protected as a historic monument were razed and the village was rebuilt at the Eastern side of the valley.
The church steeple which is still situated in the middle of the lake is the only thing left of former Curon.
