video : What about… the south of South Tyrol
One of the main characteristics of the southern area of South Tyrol is undoubtedly its climate, favouring the growth of palm trees, cypresses and lemon trees in the Valle dell'Adige, the Bassa Atesina and the Oltradige, and not least grapevines and orchards. In between, there are some majestic castles. This is also where the warmest bathing lake of the Alps is located: Lake Caldaro.
Recommendable to gourmets and oenophiles is the South Tyrolean Wine Road, connecting 17 villages in the bottom of the valley. In marked contrast, however, the mountain areas of the south of South Tyrol: the Monte Regolo with Mt. Corno, Mt. Corno Nero and Mt. Corno Bianco - and at their feet the Bletterbach Gorge, the South Tyrolean canyon dating back to the last Ice Age.
