Val di Sole, situated in the North-western part of Trentino, has a lot to offer. It is a concentration of beauty, history and traditions. A magical area for those who love nature and every type of sporting activity and adventure.
Craftsmanship in Val di Sole is a tradition which lasts through time. You will find carpenters which still to this day carve wood and build custom made furniture in a mountain style, while others dedicate their time to restoring antique furniture.
Striking and exciting itineraries ideal for hiking in one of the world’s most beautiful scenarios: the Dolomites. Of easy and medium difficulty there are so many opportunities allowing everybody to enjoy the valley and the mountains. Lakes, forests and paths for those who love trekking at high altitude and Nordic walking, mountain huts and farms to appreciate traditions and food from Trentino. Here you will find all the information you need! (link to Val di Sole website).
Unfortunately Val di Sole during the First World War was the scene of the so called White War, where the peaks and glaciers of the Adamello Group and Ortles mountain saw the Italian and Austro Hungarian army fight each other.
By following special paths it is still possible to see trenches and forts which have changed not only the landscape for ever, but also our country’s history.
Amongst valleys and forests you will also find Castles and Museums which remind us of our history.
The castles of Caldes and San Michele, magical and mysterious places which through time have not lost their charm.

Val di Sole is covered in stretches of water, torrents, lakes and fishing areas.
One example is the Noce river, full of fish, a perfect area to relax and enjoy a day of fishing surrounded by nature.
The Brenta Dolomites rise at the western end of the Dolomite area and look like a dolomite island. The massif has a north-south development 40 kilometres long and 12 kilometres wide. Its natural boundaries are VAL DI SOLE to the north, Val di Non to the east and Paganella, Valli Giudicarie to the south and Valle Rendena to the west. The entire Brenta group is included in the territory of the NATURAL PARK ADAMELLO BRENTA. Unlike other Dolomite groups, where everything is slender lines and plasticity of masses, this superb ridge of limestone and dolomitic rocks has majestic and austere shapes, where the rocky walls culminate in peaks and dihedrons of the most varied shapes and sizes.
Protected area of the Alps in the heart of the Ortles-Cevedale .
Established in 1935, it is the largest in the Alps with its 134,620 hectares spread over 24 municipalities and 4 provinces (Trento, Bolzano, Brescia and Sondrio). The Trentino sector of the Park extends in the two lateral valleys of Peio and Rabbi.

There is always a first time with winter sports, the main thing is to start the right way.
If you want to learn to ski, cross country ski or snowboard, you will find professional ski instructors and courses for all ages and levels.
For all those who prefer the silence of the snow-capped peaks and valleys to the “routes” marked, the mountains that crown the Val di Sole are an authentic, vast gym for the practice of ski mountaineering.
The practice of ski mountaineering must always be “accompanied” by prudence and attention. Therefore, before embarking on an excursion, it is best to contact the Alpine Guides of Val di Sole, who, in addition to organizing ski mountaineering expeditions in total safety, provide important technical information, data on snow conditions and suggest itineraries.
Val di Sole in winter means…a mountain of snow! Thanks to its geographical position among the highest peaks of the Central and Eastern Alps, Val di Sole is one of the Alpine valleys with the most abundant snowfall (according to official data from the snow stations).
Val di Sole represents the largest ski area in the western part of Trentino, thanks to its 3 ski areas: the Skiarea CAMPIGLIO DOLOMITI DI BRENTA Val di Sole Val Rendena, the Skiarea PONTEDILEGNO-PASSO TONALE and the Skiarea PEJO 3000.
