Introduction

Trentino Alto Adige is located in the most Northern part of Italy bordering Austria and Slovenia. Being in the middle of the Alps, all ski resorts are within a one hour car driving distance.

The region offers a remarkable variety of landscapes going from the picturesque shores of Lake Garda and many other lakes to some of the most striking mountain peaks in Europe: the Dolomites of the Fassa Valley, the Gardena and Fiemme Valleys, the Brenta Group and the Pala Group.

Provinces

The region is closely linked to the history of the Ladins of the Dolomites. Today, this linguistic and cultural group is spread over three provinces, the two provinces of the Trentino-Alto Adige region and the Belluno province in the Veneto region.

Together with the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions, the Trention-Alto Adige region is part of of the macro-geographical area known as the Triveneto.
