Short description of South Tyrol

South Tyrol (Südtirol / Alto Adige) is Italy's northernmost province, an Alpine land where German, Italian and Ladin cultures meet beneath the Dolomites. The jagged peaks of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites rise above the Seiser Alm, Val Gardena and the Lago di Braies. Bolzano, the capital, keeps arcaded streets and Ötzi the Iceman in its archaeology museum, while the spa town of Merano is known for the gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle. Along the South Tyrolean Wine Road vineyards surround Lake Caldaro. Castles, mountain huts, ski areas and Christmas markets make South Tyrol a destination in summer and in winter.
