In the upper Val Rendena, at an altitude
of 785 metres, where it is surrounded by the Brenta group,
Adamello and Presanella mountains, is Pinzolo, a well-known
tourist resort that was first developed in the 1960s.
The town’s skiing area
has a large number of well-cared-for pistes that are served
by modern lift facilities. The runs - which are above all
medium difficulty - are also suitable for beginners, while
the more demanding skiers will find the right slopes for
improving their technique.
Well worth trying is
a ski mountaineering excursion, a more peaceful walk on
snowshoes (“ciaspole”) or even paragliding to discover
the more charming aspects of this welcoming resort.
There is a series of
valleys of the rarest beauty in the upper Rendena, including
Val Campiglio, home of the well-known Madonna di Campiglio,
pearl of the Brenta Dolomites, and the Val Genova, the
valley of waterfalls and entrance to the Adamello Brenta
Natural Park.
The resort has maintained
many of its folkloristic traditions, such as the satirical "Trato
Marzo", and great sporting events such as the Inter
summer stage, world-class figure skating exhibitions
and the Val Rendena ski mountaineering
event.
Mediaeval history mentions

dei Battuti” religious orders in Trentino ... [continues]
