Anterivo, the Altrei plateau above the Bassa Atesina

Anterivo, Altrei in German, is a mountain village above 1,200 metres, on a plateau in the Bassa Atesina (the southern Adige valley area of South Tyrol) close to the border with Trentino. German is the main language spoken. The village is known for Altrei coffee, a coffee substitute made from a variety of lupin grown here for a long time. Around it are meadows, woods and scattered farmsteads.

Buying in South Tyrol has its own rules. Land registration follows the tavolare system, based on the land book, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps here: the report works from the address but cannot trace the land parcel. Many new homes are restricted to residents or built under price agreements, so check with the town hall before negotiating. The area is in climate zone F, the band with the longest winters.

Without a car, there are scheduled buses; the report shows the distance from the address to the nearest stop. For work, secondary schools and hospital care, people go down to the valley.

There were 391 residents in 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics office, 2.1% more than in 2011. The estimated average age is 45.4, against 43.4 for the province, and people over 65 make up 22.5%. Households average 2.14 people and foreign residents are 4.9%. Declared incomes are below the South Tyrol average.

Earthquake hazard is low: zone 4 on the Civil Protection Department's national scale, like all 116 municipalities in the province of Bolzano, with expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.061 g. In the mountains the official maps of landslides, rockfall and avalanches matter more, and the report checks them at the exact spot.
