Trento Province
Lying in the heart of the Alps, the Italian-speaking Trentino, of Italian traditions and culture, is richly endowed with unique gifts of nature: its mountains have been cut by glaciers into several deep, broad valleys, many of which face south remaining warm and sunny, even in winter.
Trentino shares with Alto Adige a marvel of the Alps and the Dolomites. The Dolomites are unique mountains because the sun's rays give the rocks a fiery red glow at dawn and sunset, a phenomenon called "enrosadira". Peaks like the Torri del Vajolet or Campanil Basso di Brenta are known everywhere, and not only by mountaineers. The Frenchman, Le Corbusier defined these mountains, which emerged from the Thetis sea 250 million years ago, as "the most beautiful work of architecture in the world".
EVENTS TO REMEMBER
The Maratona del Dolomites, is a great Granfondo as well as several other bike events.
The Rock Master climbing comp takes place in Arco during September.
Remember "Vinum Bonum" and "The Sounds of the Dolomites". Thanks to "Vinum Bonum", every summer, twenty-five wineries open their doors to invite tourists in for guided tours and displays, tastings and meetings with musicians performing against the unusual backdrop of wine casks and bottles.
