General / Location

Medieval atmosphere with modern charms. This is how Sterzing, a town once linked to the Fugger trading empire, appears to visitors today. A small jewel amidst wonderful surroundings in Freienfeld and Pfitsch. Meadows and forests, alpine pastures and glaciers, and largely unspoilt nature.
This is where town and countryside complement one another beautifully.
Sterzing is a medieval town, once part of the Fugger trading empire, which captivates the visitor with its romantic and picturesque character. With 5,800 inhabitants, it is the largest village in the Wipp Valley and lies at 948m above sea level. Today, this tiny Alpine town, once a holiday retreat for Emperors and Kings, is a small jewel, rich in historic and artistic treasures, alleyways of gable-fronted buildings and exclusive shops.
