What you can expect

The guided tour of Vipiteno will take you on a walk through the most evocative streets of a characteristic medieval village between mountains and magnificent landscapes where the Austro-German culture is in perfect harmony with the Italian tradition. We start by visiting the small Church of Santo Spirito not far from the Isarco river that crosses Vipiteno, the oldest church in the village built in the 14th century in Gothic style, dedicated to St. Sebastian, patron saint of the village and where you can admire a beautiful cycle of frescoes.

We are in the heart of the historic centre where we find the imposing Tower of the Twelve, the civic tower symbol of Vipiteno commissioned in the 1400s by Duke Sigismondo as the entrance door to the ancient village, with its particular structure and a large clock with sundial. The characteristic Tower divides the historic centre of the New Town with that of the Old Town and is crossed by the two high streets of the village on which we will return after having admired the Jochlsthurn Palace, the tower-house of the Enzenberg Counts and one of the most beautiful artistic monuments of Tyrol.

This particular noble residence was the home of the wealthy Jochl family in the 1400s who made their fortune with the mines in the area. Returning to the high streets we are fascinated by the typical Tyrolean-style houses with erker on the facade, similar to covered balconies, in pastel colour with decorations, frescoes and the typical arcades with shops, souvenir shops, taverns and bars where you can taste the typical products local such as speck, dumplings and the famous yoghurt.

These evocative streets are decorated during the Christmas period thanks to the markets that in recent years have become a real attraction for tourists and from here we end our guided tour by discovering externally the building of the ancient town hall of Vipiteno in late Gothic style, built in the 15th century and later modified with the characteristic erker.
