Vinschgau Valley

Vinschgau Valley

The Vinschgau Valley ( _it. Val Venosta, _de. Vinschgau, _ll. Vnuost), or Venosta Valley, is the upper part of the Adige ( _de. Etsch; _ll. Adesc) river valley, in the western part of the province of Bolzano-Bozen, Italy.

The valley runs in a west-east orientation, between the Resia Pass and Merano ( _de. Meran; _ll. Meran). Due to a rather warm climate and a lack of rain (400mm per year), the apple orchards there are irrigated. According to the 2001 census, 97% of the population of the valley speaks German as a first language, and 3% Italian.
