Exploring small towns and villages is one of the pleasures of a trip to Italy. Our Trentino-Alto Adige expert and avid hiker Silvia selects some of her favorite in the top region for mountain lovers.
Vigo di Fassa
You could say that Vigo di Fassa offers some of the best sunsets in Italy: around here you can admire the ‘enrosadira,’ that phenomenon by which the mountains that form the Dolomites turn pink at sunset. Vigo di Fassa is in the Fassa Valley, an ideal base to go skiing in winter and hiking in summer. Located about 60 kilometers (37 mi) northeast of Trento, it boasts gorgeous views over the Sella and Marmolada groups.
