Trentino is probably a lesser known Italian region than most, it sits on Italy’s north eastern border with Austria. Although little known it is actually a stunning region with a huge amount of diversity, jagged ridges, snow capped peaks, alpine meadows, waterfalls and of course ski resorts. The winter skiing in the Trentino Alto region is second to none.
Out of the winter season Trentino is popular with hikers and walkers, there is an extensive network of signed trails some of which lead up to remote mountain hamlets where they will more than likely be speaking German and you won’t find much spaghetti. The cuisine is predominantly Austrian in these remote areas.
The beautiful city of Trento in the south will welcome you with Italian hospitality, the farther south you go the more Italian it gets. Trento is an old city and has plenty of things to see, visit the Cathedral, the churches and the Museum of Natural Science. Every street in Trento is rich with rose or white colored marble or rich limestone which is an unusual facet of the place.
Trentino Alto is often described as the roof top of Italy and it is open all year round to delight you with its varied scenery. During the summer months you can enjoy warm sunshine and clear mountain air. The Sud Tirol is a string of towns and unique villages. Meran with its’ orchards, vineyards and sub tropical vegetation with palms and cypress trees is a joy to visit. The area has many castles and some old traditional local architecture.
