South Tyrol offers discerning skiers a perfect alternative to the frenetic, commercialised atmosphere of many of Italy’s other mountain resorts.

This northern province is framed by the jagged beauty of the Dolomites - a designated Unesco World Heritage site - and is home to the very best of the cultures of both Italy and neighbouring Austria. Indeed, many residents speak German as their first language, and the culture, history and cuisine of both countries are celebrated and enjoyed side by side.
