South Tyrol

The province encompasses mountain ranges, deep valleys, numerous lakes, and extensive forests across an area of 7,398 square kilometers in northern Italy.

Following World War I, the Treaty of Saint-Germain transferred the region from Austrian control to Italian sovereignty, leading to significant demographic and political changes.

The population of South Tyrol speaks three official languages: German, Italian, and Ladin, with German speakers representing the majority at nearly 70 percent.

South Tyrol maintains an efficient public transportation network connecting 116 municipalities through integrated bus and train services across mountain passes and valleys.

This province features vineyards at elevations of up to 1,000 meters, making it home to some of the highest altitude wine production in Europe.
