Sexten - Sesto: Family-Resort Rainer
Tucked into a broad valley of the Sexten Dolomites, Sexten–Sesto is a place whose character is shaped by meadows, conifer woodland and the steep limestone massifs surrounding the settlement. It lies in southeastern South Tyrol, a bilingual Italian region where the locality’s German and Italian names reflect a long Alpine cultural overlap. The municipality forms part of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage property, and lies beside the Three Peaks Nature Park. Farm buildings and compact residential areas occupy the gentler valley floor, while higher ground gives way to the rugged terrain of the Sesto Dolomites. Sexten–Sesto also belongs to the Drei Zinnen mountain area, a major destination in this part of the Alps.

Sexten–Sesto combines the everyday rhythm of an Alpine village with the stark limestone skyline of the Sesto Dolomites in a way that reflects its position on the eastern edge of South Tyrol. The settlement lies in the Sexten Valley near the Austrian border, and its surrounding peaks belong to the UNESCO-listed Dolomites. The ridge known as the Sexten Sundial includes Neuner, Zehner, Elfer, Zwölfer and Einser, whose profiles mark the passage of the sun. These mountains were part of the First World War front between Italy and Austria-Hungary, a legacy that remains important locally. The Three Peaks of Lavaredo are among the wider region’s best-known high-mountain landmarks.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley.
