Alto Adige

A place where ancient traditions have been preserved and handed down through the centuries and where the population is committed to protecting the natural environment of their beloved land. The essence of South Tyrol is contained in its priceless natural and historic heritage, arising from the encounter of different cultures: Italian, Ladin and German. A linguistic variety which has produced a wealth of knowledge, best represented by magnificent artisan creations, an original combination of alpine flavours and Mediterranean cuisine, numerous myths and legends trying to explain the mystery of unusual, beautiful natural formations. Places such as the rocky “benches” on the Sciliar, the ruins of Castelvetere, the earth pyramids and the mysterious rocks known as “the stone men” are just a few of the magical natural monuments of this land.
