Alto Adige (German: Südtirol), officially the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen – South Tyrol, is an autonomous province in northern Italy.
Together with Trentino, Alto Adige forms the autonomous region of Trentino-Alto Adige.
It is Italy’s northernmost province, bordered by Switserland in the west, Austria to the north and northeast, Lombardia (Sondrio) in the southwest, Trentino in the south and Veneto (Belluno) in the southeast.
The province’s landscape is dominated by mountains.
The highest peak is the Ortler (3,905m) in the far west, which is also the highest peak in the Eastern Alps outside the Bernina Range.
Even more famous are the craggy peaks of the Dolomites in the eastern part of the region.
