Ritten is a comune in South Tyrol in northern Italy. The 111-square-kilometre community is named after the high plateau, elevation 1,100 to 1,400 metres, the Ritten or the Renon, on which most of the villages are located. The plateau forms the southeast tip of the Sarntal Alps mountain range and is located between, and on average 800 metres above the rivers Eisack and Talfer. Ritten lies directly northeast of Bolzano, settled on the "meeting point" of the above rivers.
