Wipp Valley (Italian: Alta Vall'Isarco [ˈalta ˌvalliˈzarko]; German: Wipptal) is a district (Italian: comprensorio, German: Bezirksgemeinschaft) in the northern part of the Italian province of South Tyrol. It comprises the South Tyrolean part of the larger geographically defined Wipptal, stretching from Brenner Pass in the north down the upper Eisack (Isarco) river to Franzensfeste in the south. It was separated from neighbouring Eisacktal district in 1980.
