Altrei (German pronunciation: [alˈtraɪ̯]; Italian: Anterivo [anteˈriːvo]) is a comune (municipality) in South Tyrol in northern Italy.
Altrei is the only South Tyrolean municipality in the Fiemme Valley of the Southern Limestone Alps, located about 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of Bolzano half-way to the city of Trent. The surrounding communities of Capriana, Carano, Castello-Molina di Fiemme, and Valfloriana in the north, south and east all belong to the Trentino province, except for Truden in the northwest. In the southeast, the Altrei municipal area stretches down to the Avisio valley. Large parts belong to the Trudner Horn Nature Park.
As of 30 November 2010, Altrei had a population of 384 and an area of 11.1 square kilometres (4.3 sq mi).
The municipality of Altrei contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Eben (Pramarino) and Guggal.
According to the 2011 census, 87.80% of the population speak German, 12.20% Italian as first language.
Antereu was first mentioned in a 1321 deed issued by Count Henry of Gorizia-Tyrol, who had the area settled by German peasants. It was part of Henry's successful attempts to encounter the feudal sovereignty of the prince-bishops of Trent in the Fiemme Valley. The remote area remained a Tyrolean possession until in 1779 the Habsburg empress Maria Theresa exchanged it for nearby Tramin in the Etschtal. After the 1803 secularisation, all Fiemme Valley estates were incorporated into the Austrian crown land of Tyrol.
