The
Wipptal (
Wipp valley) is an Alpine valley in
Tyrol,
Austria and in
South Tyrol,
Italy, stretching between
Innsbruck and
Franzensfeste. The
Brenner Pass (1,374 m) at the Austro-Italian border divides it into the northern, Austrian
Unteres Wipptal and the southern, Italian
Oberes Wipptal. The
Unteres Wipptal extends along the river
Sill southward from
Innsbruck, where the Sill meets the larger river
Inn, up to the Brenner Pass. South of the border, the
Oberes Wipptal stretches along the
Eisack river by way of
Sterzing to
Franzensfeste. It forms the
Wipptal District of the province of South Tyrol.
