Few communities in South Tyrol have a history as closely tied to Bolzano’s tradition of summer retreats as Ritten–Renon. Spread across a plateau above the provincial capital, this municipality faces the Dolomites and the Sciliar/Schlern massif while retaining a rural character of farms, woods and scattered hamlets. Its renowned earth pyramids, erosion pillars protected by large stone caps, are among the area’s most recognisable formations. The Ritten Railway, in service since 1907, still runs between Soprabolzano and Collalbo, preserving a notable part of South Tyrol’s transport heritage.
