Lagorai,
Valsugana Orientale e Tesino.
Enjoy beautiful walks surrounded by the green landscape.
Not forgetting the great historical and cultural heritage
of the area.
On one side, there is the valley basin flown by the
Brenta river, on the other side a plateau stretching
to the orographic left of the valley; an area with
colorful orchards and gigantic rocks towering above
the sunny slopes.
On the edge of the Lagorai chain, the rolling green
countryside of the Tesino plateau is dotted with pastures
and cultivated fields. This plateau is an excellent
starting point for excursions in the mountains on
the northern border, i.e. to Lagorai and Cima d´Asta,
where hikers come into contact with a particularly
wild and unspoiled nature. The front line between
Italy and Austria during the First World War ran along
the Lagorai and Cima d´Asta mountain sides.
The trenches, evidence of that time, are still visible
today. Not far east of Borgo Valsugana, the administrative
capital of Eastern Valsugana, is the well-preserved
Castel Ivano which hosts cultural and scientific events
as well as art exhibitions.
Eastern Valsugana and Tesino are also interesting
for potholers as the largest grottoes in Trentino
exist in this area, such as the Bigonda and the Calgeron
(near Grigno) and the Grotta di Castel Tesino.
