Cultural highlights in South Tyrol

From 1363 to 1919, South Tyrol belonged to the Habsburg Empire. At the end of the First World War, the area of South Tyrol became part of Italy. After initial attempts at independence and unrest, South Tyrol is now part of the autonomous province of Trentino-Alto Adige.

In the valleys of South Tyrol, which were cut off from the outside world for centuries, customs and traditions have been kept alive to this day. These are not mere folklore, but living customs that bear witness to the deep-rooted desire to preserve old traditions.

In the past, South Tyrolean farmers lived almost self-sufficiently and produced many of the necessities of life themselves. On winter evenings, there was plenty of time for handicrafts such as wood carving, braiding, lace-making and quill embroidery. In Val Gardena, woodcarving developed into an industry in its own right.

Just like the landscape and climate, South Tyrolean cuisine also combines the best of two worlds: Alpine and Mediterranean. Italian cuisine with pizza and pasta can be found on an equal footing with solid Tyrolean dishes such as Kaiserschmarrn and dumplings.
