Messner Mountain Museum Firmian

The largest of the Messner Mountain Museums has found its seat in the mighty castle Sigmundskron near Bolzano.
As the centrepiece of the Messner Mountain Museum, MMM Firmian in Sigmundskron Castle near Bozen addresses the subject of man’s encounter with the mountains. In a setting dominated by the various peaks between the Schlern and the Texel range, the museum is spacious to be organised as an itinerary between the various works ofart, installations and relics that it houses. The paths, stairs and towers lead visitors from the depths of the mountain, where their origins and exploitation are brought to life, and the religious significance of the peaks as an aid to orientation and a bridge to the beyond, to thehistory of mountaineering and the alpine tourist industry that we know today. Annual exhibitions are also held.
The visit is especially recommended when the weather is good.
