Few communities in South Tyrol have a history as closely tied to high-altitude farming in the Dolomites as Tiers. Also known by its Italian name, Tires, this small municipality occupies the Tiers Valley beneath the Rosengarten/Catinaccio group, part of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites. Meadows, woodland and working farmsteads still shape the settled slopes, while trails lead upward toward the Catinaccio range and the Sciliar plateau. The local rhythm remains distinctly Alpine: haymaking, cattle farming and mountain huts are part of the setting rather than museum displays. Its position in the western Dolomites makes Tiers a rewarding base for exploring South Tyrol beyond its larger towns.
