The mining industry brought the little town near the border to austria prestige and prosperity in the Middle Ages. Impressive town houses, an attractive commercial street and the gothic council chamber in the town hall bear witness to this even today. The Rosskopf, the local mountain of Sterzing, is worth a journey all year long: snow reliable in winter and in summer ideal for hikers here no wish remaines unfulfilled. Even those who shy away from the long climb can start to their own personal mountain experience, thanks to the lifts that break down the way up from Sterzing to 1860 m altitude in a few minutes. The rich cultural program of the city offers everything from exhibitions, theater performances, concerts up to all sorts of festivals.
