Sterzing/Rosskopf

Italy

Trentino-Alto Adige

Small-scale skiing above one of South Tyrol's prettiest medieval towns

Is Sterzing/Rosskopf right for you?

  • Sits directly above Sterzing/Vipiteno, one of South Tyrol's most attractive historic towns
  • A genuinely quiet, low-key area away from the bigger resort crowds
  • Easy access via the Brenner Pass makes it a straightforward add-on or short break
  • Good, gentle terrain for beginners and relaxed intermediates
  • Heads up: It's a small area, so serious mileage-seekers will want to treat it as a short break rather than a full week's destination.
