Mölten on the Tschögglberg – home of the Haflinger
The Tschögglberg is the place of origin of the Haflinger horse and still today the region where the largest number of Haflinger are bred and raised.
In 1904, the first cooperative of Haflinger breeders was founded in Mölten – a milestone that continues to shape the area’s identity and living traditions.

The Salten – Europe’s largest larch plateau
Between Mölten and Jenesien lies the Salten, Europe’s largest larch plateau. Light-flooded larch forests, rolling meadows and sweeping views of the Dolomites – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – define this unique natural landscape.
With its gentle hills and open expanses, the Salten is ideal for leisurely hikes and relaxed bike tours, offering space to breathe and authentic nature experiences on the Tschögglberg.
