Oberbozen–Soprabolzano occupies the Ritten (Renon) plateau above Bolzano in Italy’s South Tyrol. The settlement lies in an Alpine setting opposite the Dolomites, while the wooded plateau opens towards the Eisack Valley below. Its defining connection is the Ritten Railway, a historic metre-gauge line running from Oberbozen to Klobenstein/Collalbo; it has served the plateau since 1907 and remains part of local transport. Elsewhere on Ritten, erosion has shaped distinctive earth pyramids from glacial deposits. Dual place names reflect South Tyrol’s German- and Italian-speaking identity.
