nations. A pristine village set in pristine natural surroundings –

Galtür remains true to this way of thinking even today.

Mainly located on the sunny slope of the lower Paznaun theindividual towns of the district of Kappl are scattered around far andwide. There are a total of 90 little hamlets – which are very smallvillages – surrounded by the impressive mountain ranges of theVerwall-, Samnaun- and Silvretta mountain ranges, which are up to3000m in height, and these are what make Kappl a special area.

The hamlets are situated away fromthe through roads, at 1200 and1500 metres altitude. More than 90km walking, hiking and mountainbike trails come together in theseidyllic mountain ranges and Alpinepastures, which are up to 2,500metres altitude.

Even with 5,000 guest beds Kapplhas succeeded in retaining itstypical village character.

Maintaining the look of the villageand keeping the natural surroun-dings in great condition has alwaysbeen important to the people wholive here. At every turn the summervisitor will come across key evi-dence of the Kappl's mountainfarming past, relics of old, woodenimplements for managing theslopes, which are very steep inparts, brick ovens and unusualtools.

However it is not just for craftpurposes that Kappl people usetheir skills. Crosses and waysideshrines and also a variety of chapelsare also evidence of the deepreligiosity as well as the artistic

capability of the people here. It wasalso the Kappl people whoprovided the town with its originalname 'ad capellam'.

However, time has not stood still inKappl and landlords have beenaware of the need to constantlymake changes to meet their guests'needs, and investments andimprovements to what they offerhas meant that Kappl is a comfor-table, lovely and relaxing place toholiday.

Originally the area of what is Seetoday covered the Alpine floor ofthe municipalities of Serfaus andFiss. In the 13th century farmersfrom Serfaus and Fiss establishedthe settlement in See. In 1433 thetown was first mentioned in docu-ments as a district named "Ze demSee in Pacznawn" (= "zu dem See imPaznaun" - to the lake in Paznaun).

Due to the settlement until 1792See was a part of the jurisdiction ofLandeck (later Ried) and until 1630of Serfaus parish. At that time thedead had to be carried acrossFurgler Joch to Serfaus graveyard.In the war year 1809 the PaznaunGuards and 120 women and girlsfrom See in Giggler Tobl prevented1500 Bavarian soldiers from invad-ing the valley.

Two famous artists were born inSee. Sculptor Andreas Thamaschand painter Mathias Schmid.

The current parish church was builtin the 18th century. Its location atits elevation are impressive. Thebuilding next to the church is listedand was refurbished in an exem-plary manner in 1981.
