Dolomites Region Eggental

Measurable, visible, tangible. Eggental is the first sustainable holiday region in South Tyrol bearing the Sustainability Label South Tyrol. But it's even more astonishing that Eggental is one of the few having achieved the GSTC-recognition. It's been many years now, since local cycles have been on the upswing, bringing producers from the valley and restaurateurs to work closer. These kinds of destinations are actively and successfully involved in socio-economic, ecological and cultural sustainability. For this reason, the Dolomites Region Eggental is considered as a pioneer and internationally acclaimed role model for other holiday regions committed to pursue a more sustainable future. The villages of the region await you with family-run shops, where local artisans and producers offer unique creations and homemade products.

Shepherd's noodles with Speck Alto Adige PGI, dumpling tris on cabbage salad or grilled hearty meat specialties, topped off with a portion of Kaiserschmarrn or a slice of warm apple strudel. In the traditional ski huts you can unwind on the wide terraces or in the cozy parlors before the food is served at your table: the menu is elevated as the location itself. What's there for you after lunch? Many blue, red and black slopes or hiking trails on a glittering white snow.

How about a slice of mild raw milk cheese? A refreshing beer with home-grown ingredients? Crispy Schüttelbrot bread? Or a figure made from the farm's hay? In the Dolomites Region Eggental and in the rest of South Tyrol, you'll find a wide selection of local high-quality foods and hand-crafted objects. Many producers sell straight from the farm where you can try local ingredients and get to know the producers. With a bit of luck and while strolling though the village,  you can even look over the shoulders of craftsmen at work as they create jewellery, wooden sculptures and baskets . In this way, you won't only taste unique flavours, but also get an insider knowledge about cultivation and processing.
