With an array of
alpine villages that splay across the Italian-Austrian border, this historic region is officially called “Tirol-South Tirol-Trentino.”
The ancient
ethnic Ladins prefer “Sudtirol,” the Italians, “Alto-Adige.” By any name, it’s
a unique enclave of peaceful multiculturalism, and one of the world’s most
coveted cross-country ski centers. Join us in the valleys and plateaux where
the stout Alps meet the saw-toothed Dolomites, where cozy Germanic gemutlichkeit meets the Italian zest for living, and
where your winter dreams meet the dazzling light of day.
