Vallagarina – Veneto: among vineyards, forts and hills on the border of Trentino. Vallagarina is the southern portion of the Adige valley, between Rovereto and Verona. Its Venetian part touches the territory of Brentino Belluno, Dolcè and Rivoli Veronese, on the border with Trentino. An area of passage and meeting between plains, mountains and vineyards, ideal for excursions, food and wine and cultural visits. 🏞️ A valley between Adige, forts and hills: The landscape alternates between vine-covered slopes, forests, rocky gorges and river terraces. The Adige crosses narrow gorges and opens into small inhabited basins. There is no shortage of historical evidence, such as the Austro-Hungarian forts that guarded the border between empire and kingdom. 👉 Tip: Visit the Forte Rivoli, now a museum, with a dominant view of the valley and the course of the Adige. 🥾 Excursions through vineyards and vertical views: The paths in the area climb the hills that run along the river, touching viewpoints and old rural settlements. Do not miss the via ferrata di Brentino, which leads to the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Corona, suspended on a rocky wall. 👉 Tip: For a leisurely hike, take the Valdadige Wine Trail: a circular route through vineyards and rural courtyards. 🍇 Valdadige wines and typical products: This area is part of the Valdadige DOC, with vines such as Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Marzemino and Enantio. The small wineries offer tastings and direct sales, often in well-kept rural contexts overlooking the valley. 👉 Tip: Taste a Marzemino from Vallagarina in a Dolcè or Peri winery, accompanied by cold cuts and homemade bread. 🚴 Cycling along the Veronese Adige: The Adige Cycle Path crosses the entire valley and connects Verona to Trento along a flat and well-marked route. It is perfect for discovering villages, vineyards and river views by bike, with rest areas and refreshment points along the way. 👉 Tip: Start from Rivoli Veronese and follow the cycle path to Rovereto for a day of landscapes and wineries. 🛏️ Where to stay in the Venetian Vallagarina: The municipalities of Dolcè, Brentino Belluno and Rivoli Veronese offer B&Bs, farmhouses and rural accommodation surrounded by vineyards or close to hiking trails. The location is also excellent for day trips to Lake Garda, Monte Baldo and Verona. 👉 Tip: Stay in a rural establishment overlooking the valley: quiet atmosphere and breakfast with local products. The Veneto Vallagarina is a borderland and discreet beauty: between vineyards, paths and border memories, it is perfect for those looking for slow tourism and landscapes to discover calmly.
