Wipp Valley
The Wipp Valley is an Alpine valley that stretches for 33 kilometers from Innsbruck, Austria, to Brixen/Bressanone, Italy. It runs north-south and is most famously known for the Brenner Pass, which connects Austria to Italy. The valley is situated between the Stubai Alps and the Tux Alps. The Wipp Valley is the main valley from which five mountain valleys branch off. The Lower Wipp Valley follows the Sill River southwards from Innsbruck up to the Brenner Pass, where the Sill meets the larger Inn River. The Wipp Valley offers opportunities for cross-country skiing, sledding, snowshoeing, and winter hiking. In the summer, the area is popular for cycling and hiking. The Brenner Pass has been one of the main entrances to Italy from the north since Roman times. A railway and a highway climb steeply from Innsbruck through the Wipp Valley up to the Brenner Pass.
