Holidays in Vallelaghi between food and wine and sport near Trento

13 km from Trento, 28 km from Lake Garda, and 32 km from Monte Bondone, is the new municipality of Vallelaghi made up of the hamlets of Padergnone, Terlago, and Vezzano. An ideal destination both for lovers of food and wine, sports, and culture thanks to its proximity to the city of Trento.

Immersed in a landscape of rare beauty, between vineyards and orchards, the town is known above all for the lake of Santa Massenza and the wonderful Toblino Castle, a fairytale place that enchants at first sight.

Vallelaghi is part of the Sarca River Park which, almost entirely accessible on foot or by bicycle along signposted routes, consists of eighteen protected areas with different habitats. Highly suggestive is the Forra del Limarò, a deep gorge where you can fish.

For those who love skiing, nearby Monte Bondone offers slopes of all lengths and difficulties, especially suitable for beginners and families. For those who enjoy cross-country skiing, there is also the Viote cross-country ski center on Bondone. Here the Viote Alpine Botanical Garden, one of the oldest and largest botanical gardens in the Alps, is definitely worth a visit.

For those looking for alternative sports, Lake Terlago offers cable-wakeboarding.

Among the events you shouldn’t miss out on are the annual appointment of "Divinnosiola, when wine becomes a saint", the food and wine festival dedicated to the cultural and natural heritage of the valley. A series of initiatives including trekking, tastings, grape squeezing ritual, exhibitions, and shows to discover this wonderful territory.
