Description

Alongside German and Italian, Ladin is our third official language in South Tyrol – and in our valley Val Badia, it is more than just a language.

It is part of everyday life.
It is family history.
It is the "Bun dé" with which the day begins.

Ladin has been spoken here for centuries – preserved from generation to generation. Around 30.000 people still speak this Rhaeto-Romance language today, especially here in the Dolomite valleys. Ladin is alive and well in Val Badia, among other places:
- on menus, in magazines and books
- at festivals and traditional events
- in schools and clubs
- in conversation with locals

Thanks to South Tyrol's autonomy, the rights of all three language groups are protected. Multilingual education and Ladin media ensure that our language is not only preserved but also continues to thrive.
