Latemar at sunset - Photo (c) Roberto1956 Rosengarten-Latemar Situated in the south-western part of the Dolomites the holiday region Rosengarten-Latemar is very close to South Tyrol's capital Bolzano. With about 300 sunny days a year this mountainous area is certainly favored by the weather gods. Springtime, when the Alpine meadows are covered by a sea of flowers, summer when lush pastures and shady woods offer cozy spots for a little rest, fall, when thousands of leave covering the entire table-land shine in the most fascinating colors. Hiking, mountain biking, free climbing, tennis, swimming, riding, golf… there is hardly an activity which cannot be practiced in the area. Also for spending a great winter holiday, the Ski Center Latemar and the Sky Area Carezza, both connected with the Dolomiti Superski skiing area, offer 90 km of slopes for both skiers and snowboarders. South Tyrol's Rosengarten-Latemar resort area extends over two lateral valleys (Eggental and Tiers) situated in the southwestern Dolomites. Val d'Ega - Nova Ponente - Obereggen Eggental The ravine of the valley of Eggen: known as the ”Western-gateway to the Dolomites” , famous for the most beautiful porphyry gorge in the Alps , lies only a few minutes far away from the capital of South Tyrol, Bolzano.The castle of Karneid overwhelms the valley with its beauty. You will experience un unforgettable ride through the valley gorge uphill to the huge and densely wooded highlands ( on an average of 1200 - 1500 m), lying at the foot of the colorful Dolomites mountains of Latemar and Rosengarten. Lush meadows and huge woodlands surround the picturesque villages of Deutschnofen (1350 m), Eggen (1120 m), Obereggen ( 1550 m), Petersberg (1390 m), Birchabruck ( 870 m), Rauth (1280 m), and the place of pilgrimage Maria Weißenstein (1560 m). They all belong to the municipality of Deutschnofen (3500 inhabitants). 100 tourist accommodation places will lodge 2500 guests who will have the opportunity to choose between a large offer of recreational activities of high quality. Holidays for everyone in every season! Steinegg - Collepietra Collepietra is at 830 m above sea level, only 13 Km far from the main city of the province, but 500 m higher than Bolzano. The municipal territory of Cornedo extends itself between the Catinaccio and the Latemar. In the south-west it is bordered by the impressive gorge of the Ega valley, in the north-east by the Isarco valley and by the Tires valley, in the south-east it confines with the municipality of Nova Levante. The Sciliar massif (2563 m), the Catinaccio (2919 m) and the Latemar (2842) rise imposingly from east to south forming a natural scenery of unbelievable beauty. The small village of Collepietra is decentralized, but not out of the world. Tourists appreciate its pure air and its incredible peacefulness, far away from the noisy communication routes. Nevertheless, by car, it takes a short time to reach Bolzano, Merano, Castelrotto, the Alp of Siusi, the Costalunga Pass, the lake of Carezza and the Gardena valley. From Collepietra, in one day, you can have a tour to the Garda lake, go to the opera in Verona or visit the magical city of Venice on the lagoon. ... but not out of the world. Tiers am Rosengarten - Tires al Catinaccio Tiers is a little village situated on 1020 m in the beautiful and quiet Tiers Valley, in the heart of the Dolomites.

(5,200 ft.) above sea level. In the famous Carezza Forest, which reaches all the way up to the stone face of the Latemar mountains, is to be found the renowned "singing wood", from which violins are made in Venice.
