These climatic differences make the Italian Alpine foothills an attractive destination for mountain enthusiasts.

Alongside Italian and German, Ladin, the oldest language of the area, is spoken in the Italian Alpine foothills. This rich cultural blend is evident in the towns and historical sites. Visitors can enjoy not only varied and flavorful cuisine but also the renowned warmth of Italian hospitality, especially in the mountain communities.
