Sexten - Sesto: 3Zinnen Dolomites - Stiergarten, Dre Zinnen Bergstation
Stiergarten lies along the upper Sexten Valley, where high alpine slopes rise above the South Tyrolean communities of Sexten/Sesto. The mountain station forms part of the 3 Zinnen Dolomites ski area, a network of lifts and pistes spread across the eastern Dolomites. This is a landscape of grassy ridges, conifer woods and pale dolomite rock, with routes used for mountain walking as well as winter sport. Sexten is in South Tyrol, a province where German and Italian are both official languages, reflected in the paired place names used throughout the valley. The surrounding Dolomites have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009, recognised for their distinctive geology and mountain scenery.

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.

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.
