A charming Alpine town
Enjoy culture with the view of majestic mountains
Sterzing, Italy’s northernmost town, is located south of the main chain of the Alps. Surrounded by soaring mountains, Sterzing is in the midst of an impressive natural backdrop which is ideal for summer and winter activities. The magnificent townhouses featuring oriel windows dot the picturesque shopping street, where many businesses, restaurants and bars create a lively atmosphere - in one of Italy’s most beautiful villages. Before the gateaway to the town, Gothic churches and striking castles, such as the Burg Reifenstein castle serve as a testament to the town’s heyday in the Middle Ages. What's more, Sterzing was enriched through mining operations during the 15th century, a period during which significant architectural structures like the Twölferturm tower, the town hall and houses were built. Track down history on a tour through the old and new town, while spending your holiday in South Tyrol!
