Trentino Alto Adige is a region made up of high mountains, wonderful forests of conifers and beeches, secular larches, silver and red firs, glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, brown bears and thousands of deer. Snow-covered landscapes, immersed in unspoiled and protected nature also thanks to the numerous natural parks. As the Stelvi National Parkor, in Val Venosta and the Sesto Dolomites Natural Park. These parks are recognized as a World Heritage Site, confirming their value for the geology of the Earth and for the aesthetics of the landscape. Among the many areas of particular beauty, we remember the famous lake of Tovel, surrounded by dense woods that are reflected in its blue waters, offering a wonderful view of the Dolomites. In the western part of the region is the highest peak in South Tyrol, the Ortles, and the Resia lake, with the enchanting submerged bell tower.

The Dolomites di Brenta, Later-Catinaccio, Marmolada and Pale di San Martino, offer unique scenarios in the world and offer the possibility to carry out numerous activities in an extremely suggestive environment. This region holds a place of honor in winter tourism, thanks to its avant-garde slopes.

Tourists are attracted not only by the ultra-modern facilities, but also by the various activities they offer. From sport, to leisure, to relaxation and well-being. The towns of Merano, Lèvico Terme, Peio, Rabbi and Comani Terme host state-of-the-art multifunctional spas, always maintaining a perfect harmony with the surrounding environment.

History and legends

Trentino Alto Adige is a multi-faceted region, a sort of Middle Earth, between Austria and Switzerland, where Italian and German cultures coexist with the typical features of the Ladin world. An alpine region, but also with typically Mediterranean features, rich in myths and legends, such as the "benches"Of the Sciliar. They are strange rock formations that legend has it as the seat of the nocturnal sabbaths and witches. But also evocative places, such as the ruins of Castelvetere, Or earth pyramids, extraordinary geological phenomena with a supernatural flavor. It has been known since ancient times that "the peaks of the mountains are close to the gods", as a regional proverb says.

Crafts and food

Among the traditions of South Tyrol, we remember the production of boiled wool, and the craftsmanship of the fabrics in BrunicoSpeck, a typical local food, is one of the most popular products both in Trentino Alto Adige and in the rest of Italy and the world.
