Two autonomous provinces, Trento and Bolzano, share the Dolomite peaks, lakes such as Braies and the Trentino end of Garda, valleys of apple orchards and a network of mountain huts and ski slopes famous worldwide. Bilingualism shows in the towns and on the table.

In farmhouses and Stuben people eat canederli dumplings in broth or with butter, smoked speck, polenta with alpine cheeses and Val di Non apple strudel. Trentodoc sparkling wines and South Tyrol whites go with honest mountain dishes.
