Perched on a hill at the mouth of the valley,
Juval Castle looks out imposingly across the Schnalstal Valley. Built in 1250, this medieval castle is now the summer residence of celebrity mountaineer Reinhold Messner. Juval Castle is
one of the six Messner Mountain Museums. The permanent exhibition here is focused on the
Myth of the Mountains and includes a large collection of Tibetan masks and Himalayan artefacts, as well as a library and a collection of paintings of the world’s great sacred mountains. Adjacent to the museum, Juval Castle also has a park with small animals, a wine estate, an organic farm and an inn.
A good way to get to Juval Castle in the Schnalstal Valley is along the Tscharser or Stabener Waalweg trail. The front facing wall of the Messner museum is the site of the
Hoachwool via ferrata.
