Trentino - Alto Adige
Trentino-Alto Adige is a region of mixed Austrian and Italian influences, and much of it has only been part of Italy since 1919. The landscape is dominated by the majestic Dolomites, snow-clad in winter and carpeted with Alpine plants in summer

Before 1919, Alto Adige was known as the South Tyrol and formed part of Austria. However, at the end of the First World War, Austria ceded it to the Italians. As a result there are marked cultural differences between the provinces as reflected in the cuisine, architecture and language (both German and Italian are spoken).
The landscape of Trentino-Alto Adige is dramatic and amongst the most beautiful in the country. With only a couple of snow-free months a year, the region is a winter sports haven, and there is also a good network of well established trails, which vary in length from a day’s walk to a two week trek or longer. Covering the whole Ortles range and topped by one of Europe’s largest glaciers is the Stelvio National Park. One of Italy’s major parks, it is popular with skiers, walkers and cyclists; the annual Giro d’Italia, Italy’s answer to the Tour de France, passes through here. It also boasts an abundant wildlife, with red deer, elk, chamois, golden eagles and ibex. There are several other parks in the region including the Panevéggio National Park, a predominantly forested area with numerous nature trails and a lake.
There are two provinces in the region: Bolzano and Trento.
