Every\u00a0village has its own character, all of them value\u00a0their customs and traditions. The nature is the greatest value of the Pitztal, providing a workplace for many farmers who contribute to preserve the biodiversity and landscape of meadows, pastures and forests.\r\n\r\nThe village <strong>Jerzens<\/strong> is situated on a sunny high plateau and boasts a <strong>spectacular view<\/strong> over the valley and a <strong>centuries-old arolla pine forest<\/strong>. The arolla pine which is also called &#8220;queen of the Alps&#8221; has become very popular over the past few years. Studies have shown that the wood has a positive effect on the wellbeing, as it slows down the heart rate and promotes a healthy sleep. In a local exhibition visitors can learn interesting facts about the trees. A hike through the Swiss stone pine forest is an unforgettable experience for nature lovers of all ages.\r\n<h2>Customs and Traditions in the Pitztal Valley<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Traditional dirndl dresses and homemade liquor<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe &#8220;Stamserhaus&#8221; in the community of Wenns is Tirol&#8217;s oldest farmhouse featuring a local museum which is well worth a visit. The small village Plangeross keeps a special tradition: During the Advent season the village is transformed into an Advent calendar, each day a new house will be opening its doors and offer Tirolean delicacies, schnaps and mulled wine.\r\n\r\nAnother Tirolean tradition is the annual cattle drives, where the local associations and village bands present\u00a0their festive uniforms and celebrate the harvest festival. Farmers markets offering Tirolean speck, homemade bread and much more as well as tent festivals are very popular among visitors and locals.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pitztal in Tirol\/Austria beckons with unlimited outdoor fun and activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1007,"featured_media":7452,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"urlaubsthema":[],"position":[],"class_list":["post-7755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"meta_box":{"attachment":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1007"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7755\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7755"},{"taxonomy":"urlaubsthema","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/urlaubsthema?post=7755"},{"taxonomy":"position","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hotelandy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/position?post=7755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
