Geography and location of Val di Non
Val di Non is located in western Trentino, nestled between Val di Sole, South Tyrol, and the Brenta Group, within the borders of the Adamello-Brenta Natural Park which defines its southern and western slopes. The district develops along the Noce stream, from which it takes its name, and includes municipalities such as Cles, Fondo, Sanzeno, and Predaia, as well as Ville d'Anaunia, Romeno, Revo, and Novella. The Mendola Pass connects it to the Adige Valley and Bolzano, while to the south it borders the Piana Rotaliana. The altitude varies from terraced valley floors to high-altitude mountain pastures, in a mosaic of orchards, woods, and pastures.
History and identity: the land of the Anauni
El nombre antiguo del valle, Anaunia, deriva de la población rética de los Anauni, mencionada en la célebre Tabula Clesiana: la tabla de bronce del 46 d.C., encontrada en Cles, con la que el emperador Claudio concedió la ciudadanía romana a los Anauni, a los Tulliassi y a los Sindini. Pocas décadas después, en el 397 d.C., en Sanzeno fueron martirizados Sisinio, Martirio y Alessandro, misioneros enviados por el obispo Vigilio de Trento: un episodio que marca la cristianización del valle y que aún hoy se recuerda en el culto local. En los siglos posteriores, el Val di Non fue tierra de frontera entre el Principado Episcopal de Trento y el poder Habsburgo, salpicada de castillos señoriales.
Paisaje y naturaleza entre lagos y montañas
El paisaje del Val di Non está dominado por el Lago de Santa Giustina, el lago artificial más grande de Trentino, nacido del embalse del Noce y hoy destino de paseos y excursiones en barco. No muy lejos, en el Parque Natural Adamello-Brenta, el Lago de Tovel es famoso por el fenómeno natural de sus aguas, antaño rojas, causado por un alga microscópica. Alrededor, bosques de coníferas, paredes dolomíticas del Grupo de Brenta y senderos de gran altitud ofrecen escenarios alpinos de gran envergadura, mientras que los valles están cubiertos por una sucesión ininterrumpida de manzanos que cambian de color en cada estación, desde la floración primaveral hasta la cosecha otoñal.
Pueblos y lugares para ver
Cles, the valley's capital, gathers around Cles Castle and the historic center with the Palazzo Assessorile. Sanzeno houses the Basilica of the Saints Martyrs and, slightly above, the Sanctuary of San Romedio, perched on a rocky outcrop and reachable via a scenic staircase through chapels carved into the rock. In Fondo, you can breathe the atmosphere of the upper Val di Non, with its historic center and traditions linked to Carnival. Predaia, a municipality born from the merger of several villages, and Vigo di Ton with the nearby Castel Thun complete an itinerary that alternates rural villages, frescoed churches, and restored castles open for visits.
Food and local traditions
Val di Non is synonymous with apples: the Mela Val di Non DOP, among the first Italian varieties to obtain the designation, colors orchards that extend for thousands of hectares and is used in local ciders, juices, and spirits. Alongside apple trees, small fruits like raspberries and blueberries grow, while mountain pastures produce alpine cheeses and Trentingrana. Peasant cuisine offers canederli, polenta with game, carne salada, and speck, accompanied by local wines and grappas. Autumn festivals dedicated to apples and markets linked to the Sanctuary of San Romedio mark the calendar of local traditions.
