How to reach the Planetarium
The backdrop couldn’t be more beautiful: the first South Tyrolean star village is located at the gates to the Dolomites in the municipality of Cornedo. Stargazers can visit both an astronomical and a solar observatory as well as the 7-km “planetary trail”. One of the world’s most modern planetariums is also located at the very heart of the star village of San Valentino in Campo.
Observatory “Max Valier” and sun observatory “Peter Anich”:
The observatory Max Valier, to which also the sun observatory Peter Anich belongs, is the only people observatory in South Tyrol and is honorary led by the association of the amateur astronomers Max Valier.
The Planetarium:
The South Tyrol Planetarium is located directly on the pretty Gummer village square. Regardless of time of day and weather, the cosmos simulator faithfully recreates the starry sky and the course of the stars. Its image resolution of about 12 million pixels on a dome with a diameter of 8 m is unsurpassed worldwide.
On 55 comfortable armchairs you get a real spaceship feeling, because thanks to 3D technology you are not only a spectator, but you get the feeling of floating in the middle of the stars.
Guided tours:
Guided tours take place every Thursday evening all year round.
Fridays only for closed groups.
