Valle del Tesino and Passo Brocon

Even if the small “Terre Tesine” don’t take up even one thousandth of the Alpine Surface, they comprise all the distinguishing elements of the widest european ecosystem. Nature, culture, history, traditions and folklore are in fact, in a considerable and representative way to form extraordinary uniqueness and tipycalness, in a well-balanced symbiosis between natural and anthropical evironments.

To Mother Nature are attributable one hundred peaks topographically recognized, which are trimmed, at the foot and inside the numerous minor valleys, with vast alpine meadowlands and twenty million rare trees. Linked with imposing mountains, there are two dozen streams, thirty glacial tarns, biotopes and foamy waterfalls alternated by secret spaces, shadowy torrential gorges and by spectacular hypogeal formations.

To Man’s work are ascribable the little village of Bieno, four old town centres, a dozen hamlets, nearly seven hundreds mountain huts and about fifty ancient mountain pastures and also ruins of the great War. Excursions are suitable for everyone, modern high-altitude refuges, comfortable tourist resorts and equipment for the spare time. However, in each season of the year you should come and visit us because, as a popular saying, that was imparted by the Tesino’s itinerants from the Zar’s land, recite “it is better to see one time rather than hear a hundred times”.
