The mouth of the valley is north of Klausen at an altitude of approx. 950 m, the valley leads over approx. 24 km of valley length through a landscape more like a low mountain range with alpine meadows and mountain forests to the east and ends at approx. 1400 m at the foot of the characteristic Dolomite peaks of the Geisler group in the Puez Geisler nature park. The Geisler Group is also the valley's landmark.
