Tradition does not go out of style here, both in clothing and in gastronomy and hospitality. On the other hand, the Dolomites are millions of years old and remain "the most beautiful mountains on the planet."
If we think of a virtuous model of Italian tourism, the Trentino Alto Adige He is on the winner's podium. There is more than one reason. Let's start with the most striking: it is the area of the Dolomites, or "the most beautiful mountains in the world", as Reinhold Messner writes in the title of a book from two thousand and eighteen (publisher Tappeiner). Obviously, they are from him, you will think. But the climber who climbed 8 thousand has a certain comparison. And anyway, these cave statues that change color according to the time of day, just as if Claude Monet were painting them, in two thousand eleven they were declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. And so far, we are facing the gift of nature.
Trentino - Alto Adige: tradition
The difference, on the other hand, is marked by human capital due to the fact that - this is going to be the Austro-Hungarian heritage, it is going to be the precise commitment to live in the mountains - people have developed a particular respect for the environment and by tradition. . To serve as an example, costumes worn by South Tyrolese with timeless pride, they are not very, very different from a century ago or 2, but they are disconcertingly current, and they are employed by each and every one of them, including the young, for vacations and day-to-day activities of the little ones. All of Italy has regional costumes, but it is usually exhibited in an ethnological museum. It is a question of mentality. For exactly the same reasons, young spot growers from South Tyrol, often under thirty, like Florian steiner mi michael pfitscher, introduce high-tech innovations and on-line commerce without compromising the craftsmanship, quality and flavor of dried meat.

Trentino - Alto Adige: modernity
The attitude of updating tradition is South Tyrol's secret to keeping it alive, and it comes to the fore in each and every field, from design, now with international stars such as Martino gamper mi Harry Thaler, to the art of modern hospitality. One case is La Perla, the historic hotel of the Costa family, where theEconomy of the common good, and smooth mobility, on foot and by bike, is favored in Corvara and in the surrounding vouchers. Another is Lefay, in Trentino, who has fueled the attention in Pinzolo with a mega bioarchitecture project to create a resort complex with designer suites and homes and a spa that wins each and every one of the most essential wellness awards. If you want to take a cable car that goes as fast as the elevators in the skyscrapers of Manhattan, you must arrive at Corones Map: Lately they inaugurated the Olang 1 + two that takes flight down the valley to 275 meters in one of the most futuristic tourist complexes in the Alps, where the Falkensteiner hotel developed by the local archistar is located. matthew thun, and where you can visit 2 museums, the MMM Corones and the Lumen, a space dedicated to photography and mountain cuisine: here is the AlpiNN, Norbert Niederkofler's restaurant, one of the main representatives of haute cuisine with his 3 Michelin stars.
