Kastelruth - Castelrotto: Seis am Schlern - Spitzbühl
Kastelruth–Castelrotto sits at the edge of the Seiser Alm in South Tyrol, Italy, where farmed alpine meadows meet the forested slopes of the Dolomites. The Seiser Alm, also called Alpe di Siusi, is a broad high-altitude pasture beneath the Sciliar/Schlern massif, one of the defining landmarks of the western Dolomites. It forms part of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage site, inscribed in 2009. Haymaking and seasonal grazing have long shaped this open terrain, with lanes connecting scattered farms and mountain huts. The municipality reflects South Tyrol’s multilingual identity, where German and Italian are used alongside the Ladin traditions of neighbouring valleys.

Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol is renowned across Italy for the Dolomites, whose pale limestone massifs define much of its eastern skyline. This autonomous region follows the upper Adige basin, from vineyards and apple orchards around Bolzano to high valleys crossed by glaciers and Alpine passes. Its character is distinctly multilingual: Italian and German are official languages, while Ladin remains in use in several Dolomite valleys. Medieval castles, Tyrolean customs and Italian city life meet in a borderland historically connected with Tyrol.

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. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
