South Tyrol welcomes you with its variety of scenic and cultural beauties: from Val Venosta to Val Pusteria, from the rugged mountain peaks to the green vineyards, you will be enchanted by fresh mountain streams, mountain crosses, noble residences and elegant castles that invite you to take a journey into the past!
