The south of South Tyrol and  Val d'Adige

The Val d’Adige is the southernmost part of Alto Adige – South Tyrol. It gets its name from the lush vegetation that grows there, with plants and trees that are typical of the Mediterranean climate: palms, cypresses, lemons, vineyards and numerous orchards.

To see

The south of South Tyrol is full of history and culture and offers numerous attractions:

  • Bolzano. No matter where you spend your holiday in this tourist area, Bolzano is just a short distance away and is well worth a visit. There are many activities that await you in the capital of South Tyrol including a peaceful stroll under the famous arcades, a slice of cake in Piazza Walther and a visit to the Museion. There's so much to choose from!
  • Messner Mountain Museum Firmiano: It was established inside Castel Firmiano and dedicated to man's encounter with the mountains, from their beginnings up to modern alpine tourism
  • The Mendola Cable Railway. This isn't exactly an attraction to visit but if you've never ridden a cable railway, it is something you should experience! Plus, during the trip you can enjoy the beautiful panorama of the Val d'Adige and once you have reached Mendola pass you can choose from various excursions
