The Gateway to the Dolomites
Bolzano lies 265 m above sea level along one of the most important routes running from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, connecting North and South. It is surrounded on all sides by mountains. Above the city, in the Dolomites, lies "il Giardino delle Rose"
the legendary realm of Laurino, the dwarf king.
His enchanted garden glows an unearthly red at twilight.
Mediterranean climate with alpine splendour
With a yearly average high of 16.6° C a yearly average low of 6° C , and no fog, Bolzano has a very mild climate.
In fact, a part of Bolzano was a health resort in the last century, beloved by all because of its climate.
Bolzano is the portal to a world without borders, from the green of parks and grapevines to the living rock of the Dolomites. Pink mountains fringed with snow form a backdrop while below lie palms, olive trees, cedars, and magnolias on the slopes of the hills. An elegant frame for the meeting between the fresh northern wind and the radiant Mediterranean sun, a benediction for vines sagging with the weight of bountiful bunches, filled with the flavours of days gone by.
The Countryside in the city
There are over 300 hectares (740acres) of grapevines within the city limits, a full one seventh of the total area. In the fall, the aroma of freshly crushed grapes wafts through the city from its 27 wineries.
