Discover the countryside and the people
We invite you on a round trip through tradition and culture. South Tyrol is characterised by numerous pictures of countryside, from the rocky mountain peaks to the narrow valleys and their mountain farms and pastures, as well as the forests and crystal clear mountain lakes.

The heart of the country is in the south, the largest wine growing area. The rolling hills provide the best conditions for vines.

Thanks to the mild Mediterranean climate, lemons, palms and our well-known quality wines ripen to perfection.
