St. Zyprian ( Italian San Cipriano ) is a fraction of the municipality of Tiers in South Tyrol , Italy . It is located at 1100  m slm in the Tiers valley and is about 3 kilometers from the main town of the municipality.

The place is on the road to the Niger Pass ; the eponymous church is located just outside the village at the junction of the road to Weisslahnbad .

The bus line to Tiers ends in St. Zyprian (at the end of the village is the final stop Zyprianer Hof). Some of the buses continue to the Karer Pass .
