The farsighted and sustainable management of the local territory, along with the protection and safeguard of the landscape, contributed to the high quality of services.

This picturesque mountain village gives you the chance to quietly walk along pedestrian ways, admiring the ancient historic centre, built around the church square. You can still find traditional footprints, such as Trentino-style balconies and volti a bott, on rural wood-and-stone houses, today converted into shops.

From the benches in the church square you can also enjoy the amazing view of the lake and the Dolomites.

Mushroom pickers are welcome too. Between July and November a variety of mushrooms grow in the local flat forests, including Chanterelles, Boletus edulis and parasol mushrooms. Pradel plateau, in the Adamello-Brenta Natural Park, is particularly popular for mushrooms and breathtaking landscapes.
