Trentino – Alto Adige/Südtirol

Italy's northernmost Alpine region, with a unique appeal in its Dolomite peaks, alpine lakes and bilingual German-Italian culture.

Trentino – Alto Adige/Südtirol lies in the far north of Italy, bordering Austria and Switzerland. It consists of two autonomous provinces, Trento and Bolzano, and Alto Adige (South Tyrol) is predominantly German-speaking. The Dolomites, a UNESCO natural World Heritage Site, run through the region, with spectacular scenery in the Val Gardena, the Alpe di Siusi plateau and Lake Braies. Bolzano's archaeological museum displays Ötzi the Iceman, Trento and Merano are old towns with their own character, and the northern shore of Lake Garda is also part of the region. Summer is good for hiking and climbing, winter is prime ski season, and autumn brings colorful vineyards and apple orchards. Bolzano and Trento lie on the Brenner railway line, and most visitors arrive via Verona or Innsbruck airports.
