Brixen am Eisack (German) or Bressanone (Italian) is a town in the autonomous province of South Tyrol (part of the autonomous region Trentino-South Tyrol) in northern Italy.
Although rather small (population 19,000), it is an old (founded 901) and the third largest town of South Tyrol and especially well known as a major skiing ressort.
As throughout the region, the majority of the population speaks German.
Brixen am Eisack, South Tyrol, should not be confused with Brixen im Thale in Northern, i.e. Austrian Tyrol.
