Val di Sole has an extraordinary abundance of natural water. It is in first place in fact, with almost 100 out of Trentino’s total of 297 lakes. It offers an incredibily rich variety of hikes and moutain trails with hugely diverse scenary and mountain ranging from 700 m in the valley bottom to the highest summits at 3700 m.
There are three main mountain ranges in the vallley: Ortles-Cevedale to the north, Adamello-Presanella to the west, the Brenta Dolomites to the southwest and Maddalene to the east.
The most important rules for hiking in the mountains:
- never set out alone on a mountain hike;
- always tell a relative or friend or the refuge manager the route you intend to take;
- take with you equipment suited to the kind of hike you are doing;
- prepare carefully for your hike: check the weather forecast, study the route on a map and if necessary, choose an Alpine or Park Guide to accompany you.
