Bolzano, between the vineyards and the Dolomites

Known as the "Door to the Dolomites" and by now associated with the famous image of the bell tower standing against the Rosengarten group, Bolzano is a lively and friendly town. Situated at 265 metres above sea level, not distant from the Brenner Pass, Bolzano is right in the heart of the Alpine region of Alto Adige. The town can be reached by motorway, railway, or airline and is located along the E5 trail of the most popular European route that connects Lake Constance with Venice. Bolzano’s geographical location is ideal, with the Dolomites right at its doorstep, at the confluence of the rivers Talvera and Isarco, joined, just a kilometre or two downstream, by the river Adige. This valley is sheltered from the winds and exposed to the sun most days of the year. The roads leading to the most stunning natural attractions of Alto Adige start from Bolzano. Arriving from the south you catch a glimpse of green mountains and red tinged peaks and it feels as though you are breathing fresher and more balsamic air. The scent of northern forests mixes with the aroma of sun kissed Mediterranean plants that cover the south facing mountainsides. The mild Mediterranean climate has not left this northern part of Italy, and this is evident in the lush vegetation of palm, cypress, and monkey trees, oleanders and cedar wood, in contrast with the red rock columns surrounding its edges. The spectacular Guncina and S. Ovaldo walks begin on these rocks and in this splendid vegetation where it is always spring. Here, where North and South meet, town and countryside also interlace in an unusual symbiosis. Bolzano is an enviable picture not only of forests but also of vineyards infiltrating its urban architecture.
