A small province with great diversity
The Alps in the north and the sea in the south. German, Italian and Ladin South Tyrol's regions typify the region's contrasts. Which would you like to discover first?
South Tyrol is a place where contrasts meld together and a journey of discovery leads you through both Alpine and Mediterranean terrain. Here, the "pale mountains", i.e. UNESCO World Natural Heritage Dolomites, are accented by the green forests and meadows to the east. Similarly, in the west, the Ortler mountain is contrasted by the shielding of the main chain of the Alps to the north. In between, valleys formed by glaciers and water shape the province whilst rivers meander past orchards and vineyards as well as picturesque towns, wine villages, castles and fortresses are set further south.
