Where community grows and careers take off

40 years of the Summer Academy “Ferienakademie” in Sarntal Valley

The Sarntal Valley in South Tyrol is not one of those vibrant vacation regions in the Alps. Here, north of Bolzano, small villages and hamlets are strung out over several kilometers, wedged in on the left and right by high mountain ranges. A secluded place whose importance for science and the lives of young people from all over the world cannot be guessed at when driving through. But for 40 years now, the Sarntal has been attracting particularly promising students to spend twelve days here during the summer vacation, which is free of lectures and exams.
