Campo Tures, the castle at the gateway to the Valle Aurina

In German it is called Sand in Taufers, and as in most of the Puster Valley, German is the language most people speak. The village stands at around 870 metres north of Brunico, where the Tures valley splits: one branch climbs into the Valle Aurina (Ahrntal), the other into the Riva valley. Above the houses is Taufers castle, one of the best known in South Tyrol, and just outside the village the Riva waterfalls run down inside the Vedrette di Ries-Aurina nature park.

Tourism, in summer and in winter, has a strong effect on the housing market. Before buying, ask the council whether the home is "convenzionato": in South Tyrol some homes may only be lived in by people who are resident or work in the province, and that restriction changes both the value and what you can do with the property, including using it as a holiday home. The railway stops at Brunico, on the Puster Valley line. In the village itself, the South Tyrol public transport timetables list 77 stops served by 9 bus routes, a dense service for a mountain municipality.

The population is growing: 5,740 residents in 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics office, up 8.9% on 2011. It is also young, with a mean age of 42.1 against 43.4 for the province and over-65s at 17.8%. Foreign residents make up 9.1%. Incomes are in line with the provincial average.

All 116 municipalities in the province of Bolzano are in seismic zone 4, the lowest band set by the Civil Protection Department, and expected ground acceleration here is about 0.047 g. What matters more is climate zone F, with long winters and the heating on for many months, and mountain hazards: landslides, debris flows and floods on the Aurino river are checked for the individual address.

Campo Tures uses the land register system (tavolare): ownership is recorded in the Libro fondiario, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps here. The report's cadastral section therefore shows as not available, while the other data still come through.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
