Trentino-Alto Adige / Trentino-South Tyrol a region
of North Italy, the Northwest bordering on Switzerland with the North on
Austria. Formerly known as Venezia Tridentina with the capital region known as
Trento.
In the extreme north of Italy , the Trentino Alto Adige is a region in which
the presence of a still virgin and uncontaminated, sometimes wild, nature
nevertheless offers the opportunity to practice sports activities. The splendid
valleys (Val di Sole, Val di Non, Val Gardena) whose rivers flow from the Adige,
contain lakes and streams, as well as olive orchards and vineyards. Imposing
mountain chains dominate the entire region: the Atesine Alps to the north, the
Retiche Alps to the west, and the Dolomite mass to the east. The optimum hotel
system, alpine huts and many winter and summer holiday stations, have made the
Trentino a fixed destination for lovers of nature and the mountains. There are
many famous ski areas. We can cite Stelvio, Ortisei, Madonna di Campiglio,
Predazzo and Canazei.
A region of mountains and woods, it stretches between Mount Cevedale, the
Adamello and the Dolomites. The landforms and landscapes are highly varied, from
the foothills of the Alps to the zone of the Marmolada, with verdant uplands,
mountain lakes and the northern reaches of Lake Garda, which create a sunny
Mediterranean corner. The northern half of the region, more markedly alpine, is
Alto Adige/Sudtirol, an area where two languages are spoken (Italian and
German). It has the largest ethnic minority in Italy. In some valleys the
language spoken is Ladin. Their population preserves the Rhaeto-Romanic culture
of the peoples who colonized the area of the Dolomites in the 11th century.
