Weather Forecast for South Tyrol

South Tyrol is a land of passes and therefore a transit land in the heart of the Alps, lying to the South of its Main ridge, a link between the central European and Mediterranean worlds. Its position as trade intersection point, equi-distant between Venice and Munich on a north-west-south-east axis, and between Vienna and Genova on a north-east-south-west axis, made Bolzano (capital city) early on an important goods transhipment place. But South Tyrol also lies at the climatic intersection point between the bracing north and the warm south. South Tyrol has therefor long been a meeting point for traders, carriers, pilgrims and keen travellers, which has required the setting up of suitable accommodation.
