Why Oltradige-Bassa Atesina is one of the most attractive locations in South Tyrol

With around 65 square kilometres of cultivated land, Oltradige-Bassa Atesina is one of the most important fruit producers in South Tyrol. Apple cultivation is particularly important here, so that the apple blossom between the end of March and the beginning of May covers the valleys in the area in a dreamy white. Winegrowing also plays an extremely important role in the Oltradige-Bassa Atesina: the local vines produce a wide range of varieties from Pinot Blanc to Cabernet Sauvignon on a total area of more than 37 square kilometres, which are pressed directly in the region to produce exquisite wines. It is hardly surprising, then, that the South Tyrolean Wine Route, a historic route along the most picturesque villages with a winemaking tradition, runs for the most part through Oltradige-Bassa Atesina. According to the experience of our estate agents, buying a villa or a flat in an old building in the vicinity is an excellent choice, especially for people who enjoy wine.

But also apart from that, houses, flats and residences in Oltradige-Bassa Atesina know how to please with many other scenic advantages: The local lakes, such as the Monticolo Lake or the Caldaro Lake, are very popular with locals and holidaymakers alike, as they invite not only to refreshing bathing excursions and water sports in summer, but also to relaxing walks along the shore all year round. The latter is also the annual venue of the Lake Stage Performance, where concerts and cultural events are performed on the only lake stage in South Tyrol. The Oltradige-Bassa Atesina also offers a range of attractive opportunities for sports enthusiasts. Whether it's a bike tour through the extensive network of bike paths and mountain bike trails, a relaxing game of golf on the well-kept course of the Golf and Country Club South Tyrol or a game of hockey with the Unterland Hockey Cavaliers - with the purchase of a property from Engel & Völkers South Tyrol, there is something for everyone. On the other hand, those looking for proximity to the urban environment can reach the larger cities of Bolzano and Merano in the north and Trento in the south in less than an hour's drive - making the purchase of a house, villa or flat in Oltradige-Bassa Atesina particularly flexible, which makes the decision interesting for numerous target groups from commuters to young families to people in retirement.

The most important places for your property purchase in Oltradige-Bassa Atesina

Among the 18 municipalities that form the Oltradige-Bassa Atesina district community, our real estate agents would like to introduce three locations to you in more detail due to their particularly attractive location characteristics. Here, but also in the other parts of the region, you will find ideal conditions for your property purchase with Engel & Völkers South Tyrol.

As the largest and particularly popular municipality of Oltradige-Bassa Atesina, Appiano, with around 14,000 inhabitants, reaches the level of a lively small town at the gates of Bolzano. Appiano is the ideal starting point for hikes, bike tours and wine tastings. The castles and fortresses in the surrounding area are also often worth more than just a visit: the Boymont castle ruins, Englar castle, Korb castle and Freudenstein castle open up interesting insights into South Tyrol's eventful past.

The southern villages of Caldaro and Termeno are also particularly promising real estate locations, known for their numerous wineries and gastronomic delights. In addition to the popular Caldaro Lake, sights such as the South Tyrolean Wine Museum, the Le Carceri Prison Gallery and the Mendola Pass, which forms a geographical transition between the provinces of South Tyrol and Trento, are located here. A special highlight is the architecturally sophisticated open-air swimming pool in Caldaro, which provides cooling in front of an impressive mountain panorama during the warm season.

The administrative centre of Oltradige-Bassa Atesina is located in the municipality of Egna, which is home to just under 5,500 inhabitants and is therefore one of the smaller settlements in the area. In this capacity, however, it is the focus of attention for prospective buyers who are looking for a particularly quiet and idyllic villa, house or mansion to purchase. Traditional flats in old buildings are also popular in Egna and the surrounding area. Egna owes its particularly authentic and original atmosphere to its historic centre with the time-honoured archways on Andreas Hofer Street, the parish church of St. Nicholas and the neat headquarters of the Oltradige-Bassa Atesina district community.
