line-height: 1.1\">An eventful history<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0\">From 1915 to 1918 the front line of the First World War ran right through the Dolomites. Around the Three Peaks and on Monte Piana near Toblach, trenches, tunnels and paths still recall the mountain war \u2013 places of remembrance where you fall silent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0\">In 1919, under the Treaty of Saint-Germain, South Tyrol became part of Italy. Difficult decades followed: Italianisation under Fascism and, in 1939, the &#8222;Option&#8220;, which divided many families. Only with the Statute of Autonomy of 1972 did the region gradually find its way to peaceful coexistence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0\">Out of this, something unique has grown \u2013 almost exotic for many guests from around the world: a German-speaking culture in the middle of Italy. You are in Italy and yet you hear German, dumplings and pasta sit side by side on the table, and in some valleys people greet each other in Ladin. A way of living together that many in Europe now see as a model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 8px 0 0; font-family: 'Archivo', sans-serif; font-stretch: 80%; font-weight: 750; font-size: 24px\">What makes South Tyrol special<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; font-family: 'Archivo', sans-serif; font-size: 17px\">\n<li style=\"padding: 12px 0; border-top: 1px solid #A8BDB9\">Mountain farms, alpine huts and centuries-old craftsmanship<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 12px 0; border-top: 1px solid #A8BDB9\">Castles, mountain chapels and monasteries along ancient paths<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 12px 0; border-top: 1px solid #A8BDB9\">A cuisine between the Alps and the Mediterranean \u2013 from crispy Sch\u00fcttelbrot to wine<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 12px 0; border-top: 1px solid #A8BDB9; border-bottom: 1px solid #A8BDB9\">Living traditions through the year, from the cattle drive to T\u00f6rggelen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section aria-labelledby=\"alle\" style=\"max-width: 1240px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 104px 32px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 40px\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 24px 64px; align-items: flex-end\">\n<h2 id=\"alle\" style=\"flex: 1 1 480px; margin: 0; font-family: 'Archivo', sans-serif; font-stretch: 80%; font-weight: 750; font-size: clamp(40px, 5vw, 64px); line-height: 1; letter-spacing: -0.01em\">Hiking for everyone<\/h2>\n<p style=\"flex: 1 1 420px; margin: 0; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.7; color: #2C4B48\">Whether you are just starting out or already know many summits: in South Tyrol there is a path for everyone.
