Valle di Non.
Churches, castles and beautiful lakes amid a breathtaking
mountain landscape, a perfect place for recreational
and relaxing holidays.
Valle di Non is situated in the north west of Trentino
and the river Noce crosses it. This large area of
Trentino has a particular morphological conformation:
a succession of three tablelands separated by deep
gorges and ravines with waterways flowing through
them. The deepest basin in the valley, near Cles,
is occupied by Lago di Santa Giustina, an artificial
reservoir created by a dam of the same name.
Valle di Non is widely known for the quality of its
apples. The apple orchards are also the predominant
feature of the countryside and make a really spectacular
picture at blossom time. The surrounding mountains,
such as the Maddalene chain, the Brenta Group, Roen
and Peller, give an alpine "touch" to the
panorama of the valley.
Valle di Tovel, branching off Valle di Non, deeply
penetrates the Brenta Dolomite Group and lies within
the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park. Lago di Tovel, one
of the most beautiful and charming lakes in Trentino,
lies in an enchanting position at the end of the valley.
There are many visible traces of the valley´s
history as the many castles, palazzos, mansions, frescoed
houses and holy buildings. Among the latter, the ancient
sanctuary of San Romedio is well worth a visit.
