MMM Firmian - Messner Mountain Museum

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 enough to be organised as an itinerary between the various works of art, installations and relics that it houses. The paths, stairs and towers lead visitors form 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 the history of mountaineering and the alpine tourist industry that we know today. Annual exhibitions are also held.

The exhibition trail also integrates the surroundings of Sigmundskron Castle. The fortress, which overlooks Bozen, offers fine views of the Texel mountains, the Ötztal Alps and the majestic Schlern. Even the town in the foreground and the motorway that passes through the hill on which the castle stands are incorporated in the overall design – as examples of how man interacts with the mountains today.

MMM Firmian is open from the first Sunday in March to the third Sunday in November.
10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Doors close at 5 p.m.
Closed on Thursdays
