A cultural melting pot: South Tyrol has been formed by the influence of three different cultures - German, Italian and Ladinian. Together they have shaped South Tyrol into a region full of contrasts, yet with an underlying, resonating harmony that never ceases to amaze the visitor.

An average of 300 days of sunshine per year make South Tyrol an ideal holiday destination.

Hiking, Nordic Walking, rock climbing, mountain climbing and mountain biking - in South Tyrol Mother Nature offers it all. But it does not end in nature's paradise. The local cuisine invites you to try traditional delicacies like Tyrolean bacon, cheese, Schuettelbrot and a selection of wines.

Those who prefer to spend their vacation in a cultural way will find ample opportunity to discover treasures of the past in museums, castles, forts and churches.

However, modern lifestyle with innovative architecture, contemporary art, fashion and gourmet cuisine is never far away.
