1. Enjoy a mild climate and the highest level of living comfort with a property in Merano

The city of Merano is located at the mouth of the Adige and Passirio rivers and, with around 41,000 inhabitants, is one of the main towns on the South Tyrolean Wine Trail. Due to the fact that the Adige Valley is open to the south and thus to the Mediterranean, warm to Mediterranean temperatures prevail here for large parts of the year, which is reflected not only in the exotic wild flora of the surrounding area, but also in the excellent conditions for local winegrowing. Merano gained particular fame during the 19th century as the holiday domicile of the Austro-Hungarian Empress Elisabeth, known as Sissi, who lived there in the impressive Trauttmansdorff Castle and regularly strolled through the colourful gardens of the surrounding area. Thanks to the numerous shopping and supply options as well as the fabulous surroundings of the surrounding the Burgraviato, living in an exclusive Merano property still has the highest feel-good potential today - let our qualified team of estate agents advise you on the purchase of your new-build house or flat in a residential complex!

2. Explore your purchase options in the Burgraviato with Engel & Völkers South Tyrol

The Burgraviato district community is located in the western part of South Tyrol and is made up of a total of 23 communities that are located around the district capital Merano. These include the villages of Lana, Naturno, Scena or the "Dorf Tirol", which entice you to buy real estate in front of a breathtaking Alpine backdrop. Climb the imposing Mount San Viglio, take part in a bird of prey show on the grounds of Castle Tyrol or pursue your passion for winter sports on one of the many ski slopes, for example on the "Obere Böden" near Plan. Despite the rather rural atmosphere of the Burgraviato, you will find all the facilities and shops you need for a relaxed life in your farmhouse or your exclusive new-build property within the municipalities. Get to know the versatile purchase options of the Burgraviato area with your real estate agent Engel & Völkers South Tyrol!

3. Urban lifestyle meets traditional way of life in South Tyrol's capital Bolzano

107,000 inhabitants, a wide variety of sights and restaurants as well as a seamless supply situation: anyone who wants to buy a new building, a plot of land or an exclusive property with urban flair in South Tyrol can hardly avoid Bolzano - the largest city in the province. This is where South Tyrol's centre of cultural and social life is located, as evidenced by highlights such as the famous Bolzano arcades, the South Tyrolean Museum of Archaeology with the "Ötzi" glacier mummy and the city theatre, the "united stages of Bolzano". At the same time, inspiring experiences await you in the surrounding nature, for example hiking across the Talvera meadows or a bike trip along the banks of the Isarco river. Similar to Merano, the climate here is above average for an alpine town, which is why the location is also ideal for purchasing a holiday property in the nearby area. You can find out why you should also decide to buy an exclusive property in Bolzano on our regional page or directly from our local Engel & Völkers estate agents!

4. Salten-Sciliar promises magnificent nature and varied real estate for sale

1037 square kilometres, a total of 13 municipalities and around 50,000 inhabitants in the heart of South Tyrol: these are the most important key data of the Salten-Sciliar district community, which extends around the city of Bolzano - even though it is not administratively part of it and forms its own district. In Salto-Sciliar you will find some of the most beautiful local recreation areas and excursion destinations in the whole of South Tyrol: Spend pleasant hours on the Alpe di Siusi, the largest high alpine pasture in Europe, or pay a visit to the fascinating Renon earth pyramids. The Sciliar-Catinaccio Nature Park also offers magnificent views and varied hiking routes. Tip from our estate agents: Culture lovers will get their money's worth at the Unika art fair in Val Gardena, which takes place regularly. If you would like to buy a property in Salten-Sciliar, you can choose from offers in Nova Ponente, Nova Levante, Renon, Castelrotto, Ortisei and Selva among others.

5. In Brunico, high-quality houses and flats as well as attractive leisure facilities await you

The town of Brunico is the socio-geographical centre of the Puster Valley in the east of South Tyrol and is currently home to about 16,800 inhabitants. Honoured several times as "Italy's most liveable small town", historical architecture, local recreation and winter sports come together here in a unique way. Ancient monuments such as Brunico Castle or the partially preserved city wall are popular with history buffs, while skiers and snowboarders get their money's worth on the Plan de Corones ski area. Don't miss out on the culinary recommendations of our estate agents, which we have listed for you on our Brunico regional page. Here you will also find further valuable tips for buying your new plot of land, your newly built property or your exclusive house or flat in Brunico soon!

6. Real estate agent Engel & Völkers South Tyrol presents the advantages of the Puster Valley

The Puster Valley in eastern South Tyrol is considered a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts who want to buy a holiday property, a new building or a plot of land here. As the gateway to the Dolomites to the south, the Puster Valley has a particularly large number of downhill skiing possibilities, for example in the well-known skiing areas of Alta Badia and at Plan de Corones above Brunico. But also during the warmer months, the Puster Valley has a lot to offer: A refreshing swim in the Braies Lake, a hiking tour in the idyllic Fiscalina Valley or a side trip to the majestic Taufers Castle are just a selection of the leisure activities available in the Puster Valley. From the total of 26 communities that have joined together to form the district community of the same name, you can choose to buy a property with Engel & Völkers South Tyrol in Sesto, San Candido, Dobbiaco, Monguelfo, San Lorenzo, Corvara, La Villa and Marebbe, among others.

7. Buy a property in Bressanone and experience first-class quality of life

The main town of the Isarco Valley and at the same time the third largest town in South Tyrol with around 22,500 people is called Bressanone. As a regional centre for shopping, education and transport, Bressanone is of great importance for the entire catchment area from the Brennero Pass to the lower course of the Isarco Valley, without losing its charming and authentic small-town character. In addition to the Bressanone Cathedral, the most important sight of the town, you can marvel at the traditional Bressanone arcades and the exhibits of the Bressanone Pharmacy Museum, among other things. The renowned Plose skiing area is also not far away and guarantees winter sports fun at the highest level. In addition, Bressanone is broadly positioned in academic terms thanks to its own philosophical-theological university and the external locations of the universities of Bolzano and Padua. Our real estate agents will be happy to show you which residential complexes, plots of land and exclusive properties you can currently buy in Bressanone in a non-binding consultation.

8. Be inspired by the natural charm of the Eisack Valley in South Tyrol

Alpine recreation, fun and variety for the whole family - the Eisack Valley offers you the best opportunities for this with the purchase of a new building or an exclusive property. The peaceful valley landscape, criss-crossed by the course of the Isarco river, reveals a wealth of highlights worth seeing that promise excitement and amusement. Get to know the colourful flora and fauna of the Puez-Odle Nature Park, climb a peak of the Sarentino or Zillertal Alps or enjoy a welcome refreshment, for example on the shores of the Lake Pontelletto. A very special tradition in the Eisack Valley is the so-called "Törggelen": On our dedicated overview page on the Eisack Valley, real estate agent Engel & Völkers South Tyrol tells you what this is all about and how you can soon put your property purchase in Vipiteno, Chiusa, Bressanone and the surrounding area into practice.

With its reputation as the largest orchard in South Tyrol, the district community of Oltradige-Bassa Atesina is exactly the right real estate location for real connoisseurs: freshly harvested apples from the region, traditionally pressed wines or the various local specialities of bacon, "Schüttelbrot", chestnuts and cheese are characteristic of Überetsch-Unterland and represent an important part of the local tradition.
