Hoila from the FinKa!
“Here we share our stories from the Val Venosta – about culture, travel and hospitality.”

Yes, that’s Leo and me in the photo. Over a glass of wine, we thought: our FinKa needs a voice to the world! Because here in Val Venosta, stories pile up – and we simply can’t keep them to ourselves.
Here on the FinKa Blog, we share it all with you – cultural happenings, living-room concerts, culinary treats and the philosophy of dumplings, road trips through the valley, and true moments of Val Venosta hospitality.
And if you’d like not only to read these stories but to live them, come visit the FinKa Kultur-Hostel at Mals. Rooms are always just a click away: www.finka.it
Our Voice to the World
The FinKa

In Mals, in the heart of Val Venosta’s Resia Lake holiday region, a former finance barracks has stood for over 50 years. Once a place of discipline and strict order, today it has become the FinKa Cultural Hostel, welcoming guests from all over the world: a lively place, rooted in its past – full of character, full of charm.
FinKa Book

FinKa: How it came to be what it was – From Finance Barracks to Hostel, is part logbook, part picture book – a vivid collection of stories, events, and memories that trace the journey of an old barracks turning into an open, characterful hostel.
Within its pages, the book tells of bold decisions, a love for old stone and substance, and the good fortune of catching the right moment. It speaks of the art of riding the waves of change – of hospitality and warmth that these walls have carried within them all along.
This book is an invitation to be inspired and to join the living story of the FinKa – a place that comes alive through the people who visit, enrich it, and carry its spirit further.
