Travel guide Trient & vicinity
Climate - from alpine to Mediterranean
In Trentino, there is an altitude difference of up to 2,850 meters between valleys and peaks. This results in different climatic conditions, depending on where you rent your private holiday home or apartment. At
Lake Garda near
Riva del Garda, the climate is relatively mild and almost Mediterranean. In the alpine areas of the
Dolomites, on the other hand, summers are short. In Trento itself, temperatures in winter range between 5 and 10 °C and in summer between 18 and 25°C. In winter, enjoy varied ski slopes in the ski area near your accommodation in the province. How about a trip to Riva del Garda or Lago di Ledro on a beautiful summer day?
Gourmet region Trentino-South Tyrol
The
South Tyrol-Trentino region is a true paradise for gourmets and wine lovers. When people think of Italy, they often think of pasta and pizza, but in the north of the country, polenta made from cornmeal and dumplings made from buckwheat flour are more popular. The Alpine region is famous for its sausages and cheeses. Famous varieties include Trentingrana, Vezzena, and Spressa delle Giudicarie. And there is still real alpine cheese. Try the Mortadella from Nonstal or the Carne Salada for sausages. The most famous wine here is the Teroldego Rotaliano from the same-named growing area, where the rivers Adige and Noce meet. The autochthonous (native) grape variety produces fruity and low-tannin red wines. In aroma, the Teroldego brings a slight bitter note despite its intense fruit bouquet. Around your holiday home or apartment in Trento and its surroundings, you will find numerous restaurants from cheap to elegant and for every taste.
With children and dogs between mountains and lake
For families, a holiday apartment or house rented privately in the Trento and surrounding area offers plenty of excursion possibilities between mountains and Lake Garda. How about a
holiday in the mountains in Trento and its surroundings? - In winter, many kilometers of slopes for alpine and cross-country skiing are available. In summer, the region and the ski area offer many kilometers of hiking trails - ideal conditions for a
holiday with a dog in Trento and its surroundings. The peaks, forests, and meadows on both sides of the Adige River are just a few kilometers away by car. There are also excellent hiking opportunities around the lake. A special experience is a boat trip on the lake with a 360° mountain panorama all around. The water in the lake is warm enough for swimming in the summer months. Numerous sights are suitable for families or travelers with children.
Following the footsteps of history
The old town offers a number of sights that you can reach on foot from your private holiday home or apartment in Trento. Start your tour of the historic center at the cathedral square. With the Neptune fountain behind you, you can see the impressive Palazzo Pretorio, the former bishop's residence of the city. To the right of it stands the Cathedral of San Vigilio, consecrated in 1145, where the most important meetings of the Council of Trent took place between 1545 and 1563. The façade shows the transition from the Lombard-Romanesque style to the Gothic. Other churches in the city center include S. Lorenzo from the 12th century and the Church of S. Maria Maggiore, built in 1520 in the Renaissance style and, alongside the cathedral, served as a meeting place for the Council. The old town is characterized by numerous palaces, also with Renaissance-style façades. North of the old town is the imposing Castello del Buonconsiglio, the former seat of the prince-bishops. The oldest parts of the complex date back to the early Middle Ages. During the Napoleonic period, the castle was plundered. Later, the Austrians used the complex as a barracks. Why not take a trip to Torbole? Simply rent a cozy holiday accommodation or an apartment (FeWo) or a holiday home at a reasonable price and in the best location in the province, with modern facilities, and spend a relaxing trip in the heart of the Dolomites between ski slopes, sights, and hikes in the Brenta mountain group or the ski area according to your personal wishes. Explore the province, the Fiemme Valley, surrounding cities, or, for example, the Buonconsiglio Castle or the exciting ghost village of Irone.
