WHERE NORTH MEETS SOUTH
The South Tyrolean main town Bolzano/Bozen is a true melting pot of cultures. For centuries, merchants and artists on their way between Italy and the North came through Bolzano on the old Roman trade route. The brisk cross-border trade has strongly influenced life and culture in Bolzano, and led to the culturally open attitude of its citizens. Today Bolzano, whose official and commonly-spoken languages are German and Italian, is a modern European city which attracts business people and tourists from all over the world. What makes Bolzano even more attractive is its high quality of life, its visible proximity to the magnificent Dolomites, and its central position in the heart of Europe.

THE DOLOMITES: UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE – NATURAL SITE | >> more…
"The most beautiful natural architecture in the world“, is how architect Le Corbusier described the Dolomites.
The mountain range evolved millions of years ago from petrified coral reefs, and is noted for its brightly-coloured Dolomite Rock with its particularly incandescent shade of pink. The Dolomites also represent the ancient reign of the mythological Dwarf King Laurin and his "Rose Garden", since the evening sunset bathes the pale mountains in a unique rose-tinted glow.
Since June 2009 the Dolomites have been ranked as a UNESCO World Heritage Natural Site, and therefore belong among the most highly regarded and most precious landscapes in the world. Being a popular area for hikers, bikers and mountaineers in summertime, the mighty Dolomites turn into a skier’s paradise during the winter months.
