history

Navis is first documented in 1177 as "Nauisse" in a certificate of ownership from Pope Alexander III. named for the Benedictine monastery Biburg .

The origin of "Navis" is controversial, but probably has Latin roots. Coins found in the front part of the village even revealed the presence of Romans. The Navistal served as a pasture and alpine pasture for a long time and was not permanently settled until the 13th century. One of the most successful church architects in Tyrol - Franz de Paula Penz (1707–1772) was born as a farmer's son in Navis. In addition, the little church of St. Katharina with the Aufenstein castle ruins at the entrance to the valley is known for its old frescoes .

The unofficial nickname of the village "Valley of Love" came about when many Innsbruck residents plagued by plague were taken in on their flight into the valley.

A special attraction is the “Naviser Almenrunde”, a hiking and cycling tour from alpine pasture to alpine pasture in the rear Navistal, where there are several managed alpine pastures. There is an e-bike rental in the town center. In addition to the extensive network of MTB trails, there is also an extensive network of hiking trails in the Tux Alps . The Lizumer Reckner with its dark stone is particularly worth seeing .

winter

In winter, the valley with its altitude (over 1300 m) is one of the places with guaranteed snow. The place is an ideal starting point for several ski tours, e.g. B. to Naviser Kreuzjöchl. For skier beginners and children, there is a small community lift at the end of the village if the snow conditions are right. Even away from the isolated slopes, Navis offers some winter activities for the whole family - from prepared toboggan runs to snowshoe hikes and winter hiking trails through snow-covered forests and meadows.
