Vandoies di Sotto, the chief village of the municipality, has got some 700 inhabitants and is located at 750 m a.s.l. The division of Vandoies di Sotto and Vandoies di Sopra probably dates back to the period when Vandoies di Sopra belonged to the court county of Brunico and Vandoies di Sotto was owned by the arch bishops of Bressanone.

In 2003, Vandoies has been declared a child-friendly municipality. This is where families can find a recreation area in the green with huge playground for kids. Those who love active holidays can choose from varied activities and make e.g. a tour on the PusterBike cycling track, stretching from Rio di Pusteria to Lienz. For your comfortable return, use the modern, colourful train of the valley.

If you come for walking, we recommend you the Monti di Fundres in the homonymous valley. This is where you'll be spoiled for choice...mountain huts and rough peaks, there are many destinations. Highly recommendable is a tour on the Cima di Terento, which is the local mountain of Vandoies. For a pleasant evening, there are theatre and circus performances as well as village fairs, markets and outdoor cinema.
