At the southern end of the country, the valleys widen. The mountains no longer tower over the villages. The sun shines down the whole wide valley, warming the flowers, the trees and the spirits of the locals.
Vineyards play around the valley like gentle ocean waves. They foam at the foot of the mountains and mingle with the lush green deciduous forest. In some places, the vines climb up the steep slopes to ripen their fruity berries in the sun.
In the south of South Tyrol, the apple trees are the first to show their fragrant blossoms in spring. In autumn, the grapes ripen sweetly and wait to be harvested. The sun shines over the mountain peaks early in the morning and disappears like a film behind the alpine horizon in the late evening. Cattle and fruit farmers are passionate about their daily work. They tend the rows of vines in the valley and mow the woodland meadows on the mountain.
Valley flowers and alpine adventures
In the wine village of Tramin you can discover the many facets of South Tyrol. The adventure of the heights. The blossoming air of the valley. This part of South Tyrol is a realm of adventure for hikers and cyclists - in the wide valley basin, farm tracks meander past irrigation channels. In the mountains, hikers make their own way through endless deciduous and coniferous forests. Past mountain pastures. Along panoramic paths. Always accompanied by a wonderful view that takes you beyond the southern border of South Tyrol and over Lake Caldaro to the provincial capital of Bolzano.
Cultural roots in the fresh breeze
The south of South Tyrol is lined with historic towns, each crowned by its own mountain. Touched by the Italian flair that crosses the border at Salurn. The Mediterranean wind blows into the deeply rooted Tyrolean culture and refreshes it with dolce vita. Here, in the southern part of South Tyrol, the sense of pleasure is both delicate and strong. This is the Mediterranean gateway to the Alpine world.
