V al di Sole covers a tenth of Trenti-no’s total surface, and is a concen-

tration of its best features. Embeddedamongst high mountain ranges (the Ortles-Cevedale range to the North, the Presanel-la-Adamello range to the West and theBrenta range to the South), the valley fea-tures gentle, wood-covered slopes dottedwith small villages, mostly between 700and 1,800 m a.s.l.. Inhabited since prehi-storic times, when it could be easily usedas a passageway between South Tyrol andLombardy, the valley has maintained manyancient traits both in its features and inits population. Modernity has sprung outof this background : roads, lift facilities,ski slopes, the railroad, hotel facilities,sports and entertainment centres. Extensi-ve conifer woodlands are interrupted bythe mirror of several Alpine lakes, andcrossed by streams flowing into the Noceriver, a sought after training ground forkayaking and rafting lovers.The valley’s environment is characterisedby a nice variety of settings : fromorchards to meadows and fields on thebottom of the valley; from grazing landand Alpine pastures to peaks lapped byperpetual glaciers. The wild setting, thou-gh changing whenever you get over a rib,is always overlooked by magnificent snow-clad peaks.An environment of this kind cannot beappreciated in haste, wants no rush. Wedare to suggest you trekking as a lear-ning method, that is the peaceful, thou-gh appealing and satisfying conquest ofthe territory. The aim is to “walk throu-ghout Val di Sole” : following one’s commonsense, weighing one’s forces, but expanding

one’s ability to understand and enjoy naturein its varied aspects. Breathe deeply thefresh mountain air pervaded with wild per-fumes, enjoy the view of an unspoilt envi-ronment, let yourself be enchanted by thecolourful wild flowers and by the unexpec-ted appearance of wild animals. Try to keepthe measured pace of mountain people, whogo up and downhill with no haste, elevatingboth body and spirit, senses and heart. Theextent of your walking will only dependupon your desires, strength, eagerness foradventure and curiosity. No matter if youare a youngster, an elderly person or ayouth, experienced or novice, the adventureof hiking in the mountains will free yourbest feelings. To put it in old words, all youhave to do is follow the exhortation: “Standup and walk”.

A trekking outing can last one orseveral days, and nights will be

spent in a shelter, outdoor, in the forestnext to the wildlife or, more comfortably,in an Alpine Hut (Rifugio).An Alpine Hut is a simple shelter,offering unpretentious but suffi-cient accommodation and hospita-lity, where your efforts will berewarded by a warm atmosphereand friendly hosts. Here you willfind what you need: however, therespect for nature and the wildli-fe, as well as the altitude, pre-vent man from bringing what isnot essential. In this quiet atmo-sphere, comforts will therefore beat a minimum level, and this

requires some spirit of adapta-tion. On the other hand, in

an Alpine Hut peoplelearn to live next to eachother unselfishly and to

savour the taste of friend-ship - and therefore avoidmaking noise at night, whenthe mountains are silent andsomebody may be restingbefore facing some demanding

ascent.Alpine Huts usually open from June throu-gh September (normally operating from thesecond Sunday in June to the last Sundayin September).However, since they are situated at highaltitudes, their opening time depends to agreat extent upon the weather conditions -the minimum opening time provided for bythe local regulations is from June 20 toSeptember 20. It should also be consideredthat some repair is normally necessary atthe beginning, as well as at the end, ofthe opening time ; you’d therefore betterask first if the Alpine Hut is actuallyoperating.

The routes described here under -completewith suggested night stays in the AlpineHuts of the Ortles-Cevedale, Presanella andBrenta ranges, most included in the StelvioNational Park and in the Adamello-Brenta

Natural Park - mainly followpathways waymarked with redand white signs by the S.A.T.(Society of Tridentine Alpini-sts).Although the suggestedroutes do not demand anyclimbing skills, theyrequire a certain amountof physical training dueto the distance and dif-ference in height ofsome stages.

You should not start on a hike unless youare sure of good weather and have told afriend or someone in the hotel exactlywhere you intend to go. Each trekking rou-te described provides information as to thestarting and arriving points, the walkingtime, the vertical ascent and/or descent.You will personally have to book for anaccommodation at the Alpine Hut in time.

The minimum opening time of AlpineHuts is from June 20 to September 20.However, they are usually operationalfrom the second Sunday in June to thelast one in September.We suggest you to check that the hut isopen before starting a hike.

T he Stelvio National Park, set up in 1935 and regu-lated in 1951 is currently managed by a Board

including State, Regione Lombardia, Provincia Autonomadi Trento and Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano. The Chair-men of the Managing Committees, one for each Park section,bring to the attention of the Board of Directors the opinionsof the local populations.After its extension in 1977, that allowed to establish a linkwith The Swiss Park of Engadina, the Stelvio National Park

covers an area of 134,620 hectares, spread among24 municipalities and 4 provinces : Bolzano

(41%), Brescia and Sondrio (44%)and Trento (15%). The Park boar-ders run along Val Monastero andVal Venosta to the North, Val d’Ul-timo to the East, running parallel

to Val di Sole, Val Camonica to theSouth, Valtellina and Val Livigno to the

West¸ The centre of the whole area is theOrtles - Cevedale mountain range.From a geological standpoint, the Stel-

vio National Park territory is quite varied,including sedimentary and eruptive rocks,

with a predominance of metamorphic rocks, like gneiss andgranite, forming a great number of peaks and typical Alpinevalleys, with an abundance of watercourses: torrents,streams and little Alpine lakes.The Park’s altitude is ranging between 650m and the 3,899 m of Monte Ortles. Itsvegetation features several, subsequentranges, changing in aspect and compo-sition depending on the height as wellas on other environmental parameters.At lower heights, various combinationsof broadleaf are present, but conifersare mostly widespread, featuring spru-ces and, at greater heights, larches andCembran pines. The shrub range mostlyfeatures mountain pines, rhododen-

Edelweiss.

drons, junipers, blueberries and alders. Higherup, you will find grazing land with several her-baceous species.The Park’s wild animal population includesabout thirty mammal species, 131 bird species,several reptiles and amphibians, some fish andnumerous invertebrates. Deer and roe deer arethe most numerous species, as well as chamoisat greater heights - widespread throughout hePark area ; rock goats can be found in ValZebrù. Other mammals in the Park are mar-mots, squirrels, Alpine hares, stoats, martens,beech-martens, badgers and foxes. Fowls inclu-de capercaillies, black grouses and hazel hens,whereas rock ptarmigans and rock partridgescan be found at greater heights. Last, but notleast, comes the royal eagle, chosen as Parksymbol, along with the recently re-introducedAlpine vulture.If you wish to get a full immersion into thiswild setting, there is a wide choice of clearlywaymarked routes, starting from simple itine-raries for kids and elderly people, to the moredemanding ones for experienced mountaineers.

GUIDED WALKS“Park Guides” are available for guided walksin the Park’s Lombard and Trentine sections.Guided walks are organised all year round -with typical snowshoes in winter. School grou-ps can take advantage of special programs,with the possibility to spend nights at thePark’s facilities. Apart from walking routes inthe wilderness, the Park offers a variety ofopportunities to get in touch with its histori-cal, cultural and environmental richness, inclu-ding facilities that bear witness to old timecrafts, castles, typical rural houses (masi),museums and churches, as well as orchards,botanical pathways and animal wildlife areas.

T he Adamello-Brenta Natural Park,established in 1967, covers an

area of about 618 sq. km, including theAdamello-Presanella ranges to the Westand the Brenta range to the East.The Adamello granite range, including thepeaks of Presanella (3,558 m) and CarèAlto (3,453 m), is rich in glaciers,alpine lakes and torrents formingsome very beautiful waterfalls.The Brenta dolomite range,instead, delights visitors andhikers with a rich variety ofwonderful treks, traverses andascents. The very names of itsbest renowned peaks highlight theimportance of the Brenta range:Tosa (3,173 m), Brenta (3,150 m),Campanile Basso (2,877 m), Campa-nile Alto (2,937 m).

The current animal population of the Parkincludes brown bears, chamois, roe deer,red deer, marmots, squirrels, foxes, eagles,capercaillies and black grouses, as well asmany other typical Alpine species.

A project to re-introduce rock goats in theAdamello-Presanella range was launched in1995. The ungulate, that had been absentfor several decades, now counts some 50units.

THE BROWN BEAR (Ursus arctos)- symbol of the Adamello-BrentaNatural ParkThe Adamello -Brenta Natural Parkhouses the last native specimen ofthe Alpine brown bear, which wit-nesses the presence of a sound, wildenvironment. In order to prevent theextinction of the bear, a project is inplace to foster the increase of thepopulation through the introductionof Slovene specimen.

The Park is also featuring a bountifulflora: from edelweiss and Turk’s-caps, toblack vanilla orchids and last, but not lea-st, the marvellous lady’s slipper, the large-st orchid in the Alps.
