For visitors from the south the area around the South Tyrolean capital, however, represents alpine security and a very special consciousness of tradition. And the city of Bozen itself stakes out a particular position, because it enables guests to get to know two large cultural environments

Towns such as Branzoll, Mölten, Jenesien, as well as the Ritten high plateau and the Sarntal, stand out due to characteristic peculiarities, a wonderful landscape and vital traditions. Where alpine elements meet the Mediterranean attitude towards life, results an exciting combination – also from the culinary point of view.
