Sterzing

Vipiteno Essentials

Vipiteno, known as Sterzing in German, is characterized by its late medieval layout and high-altitude alpine setting. The town center features the 15th-century Zwölferturm and the Gothic Rathaus, while the surrounding landscape is dominated by the Rosskopf peak and the medieval Schloss Sprechenstein. Cultural highlights include the Multscher Museum’s Gothic altarpiece and the historic Heiliggeistkirche. Local tradition is anchored by the renowned Milchhof Sterzing, a dairy cooperative famous for its yogurt production.
