Region straddling northern Italy and western Austria (5)

I believe the answer is:

tyrol

(Other definitions for tyrol that I've seen before include "mountainous area" , "Austrian Alpine state (English spelling)" , "Mountainous state of western Austria" , "Picturesque mountain area in Austria, popular with skiers" , "European region" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
