Rasun-Anterselva, the Puster Valley's biathlon valley
Rasun-Anterselva (Rasen-Antholz in German) covers a side valley of the Val Pusteria in South Tyrol, climbing north from the main valley to Lake Anterselva and the Austrian border. It is a municipality of mountain villages above a thousand metres, with meadows, forests and scattered farmsteads. Anterselva is known worldwide for biathlon: the stadium at the head of the valley hosts World Cup races and the events of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Life here revolves around winter and summer tourism, mountain farming and jobs in Brunico, the largest town in the Puster Valley, a short drive away. Most residents speak German. Buyers should know that in South Tyrol the housing market is governed by provincial rules, for example on homes reserved for local residents and on second homes: talk to a local notary or surveyor before making an offer.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 2,949 residents in 2023, up 2.8% since 2011. The average age of 42.8 is close to the provincial 43.4, and over-65s make up only 19.0%. Foreign nationals account for 6.7%. Incomes are close to the South Tyrol average.
Earthquake risk is low, seismic zone 4, while the climate is high mountain: climate zone F, with long snowy winters. South Tyrol uses the tavolare land register, and the Revenue Agency does not publish parcel maps here; the report says so. Slopes, landslides and stream flooding are checked for the address on the official maps, because they vary a great deal between the valley floor and the slopes.
