Castles

If you come down from Passo del Tonale, the first you come across is Castel San Michele, of medieval origins (free entry for Trentino Guest Card holders). The manor stands on a rocky spur, guarding the village of Ossana. A few kilometres later you arrive at Castel Caldes, a large five-storey tower-house built in the thirteenth century (free admission). If you also want to visit Castel Valer and Castel Thun, in Val di Non, we suggest you get on the Trenino dei Castelli, open from April to June and from July to September.

Trento

Small, yet rich in treasures. The historic centre of Trento will leave you speechless. It starts from the Castello del Buonconsiglio, former residence of the bishops, now home to art exhibitions. The Piazza del Duomo and the Cathedral of San Vigilio are the heart of the city; on the square, the Fountain of Neptune and the Cazuffi-Rella Houses stand out, frescoed with mythological and floral figures. The most elegant street? Via Belenzani, full of shops and prestigious buildings. Don’t miss the MUSE, the Trento science museum, the Roman Tridentum, in the Spazio Archeologico Sotterraneo del Sas, and the Tridentine Museum of Natural Sciences.

Dolomiti in Val di Sole

Dolomites UNESCO heritage

They have fascinated artists of every age. The beauty of the landscape and the geological relevance of their rocks have earned the Dolomites the inclusion among the Natural Heritage assets of Humanity. The chemical composition of the dolomitic rock gives life to Enrosadira, the natural phenomenon that dyes the peaks of pink at sunrise and sunset. In Val di Sole, you can touch some of the highest peaks of the Dolomites, including Cevedale and Punta di San Matteo, in the Stelvio National Park, Crozzon di Lares and Monte Carè Alto, in the Adamello Group - all exceed the 3,500 meters of altitude.
