Piné
e Cembra.
Colorful terraces with vines lead into beautiful landscapes,
biotopes and nature reserves. The unique Segonzano
pyramids are of particular interest.
The Altopiano di Piné, situated at an altitude
of more or less 900 meters, extends parallelly to
Valle dei Mòcheni (to the east) and Valle di
Cembra (to the west) valleys with which it forms one
tourist district. The Piné setting features
some lakes including two particularly large ones,
Lago di Serraia and Lago delle Piazze. Fields and
woods cover the tableland, where there are some wetlands
and peat bogs. Valle di Cembra is deep and narrow
having been scoured by the Avisio river. However the
valley owes its unique appearance to the terraces
made on the steep sunny slopes descending to the Avisio
river. These terraces are cultivated with grapevines
which produce excellent wines and grappas. The valley
also features one of the most original geologic formations
in Trentino: the Segonzano pyramids. These earth pinnacles,
some tens of meters high (some with a huge stone on
the top), are the result of the erosion of the mountain
sides.
