Between Two Lakes and Along Historic Trails

Tenna is located on Colle di Tenna, which separates Lago di Levico from Lago di Caldonazzo. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Tenna will find a landscape where natural experiences and prominent reminders of the past stand side by side. On the ridge of the hill stands the Chiesetta di San Valentino along the ancient Via Claudia Augusta Altinate. From there, you can enjoy views of Lago di Caldonazzo and Lago di Levico.

Forte di Tenna also bears witness to the strategic importance of the area. It was built between 1880 and 1882 as part of the Austro-Hungarian defense system that blocked off the Valsugana. The combination of its elevated location, lake views and historic buildings gives a stay in Tenna a distinct character of its own.

Nature Trails for Active and Relaxing Days

For walks in nature, Tenna offers the nature trail at the Biotopo di Pizé in Val de l'Orco. On the northern side of the town, another nature trail leads through the forest and Val de l'Orco to Alberè Park, where nature and art come together. Pineta dell’Alberè is located at the highest point of the hill and adds another distinctive area to this network of trails.

If you are planning a longer hike, you can choose the Giro del Colle di Tenna. The 11.5-kilometer route passes through nature, offers views of Lago di Levico and Lago di Caldonazzo, runs close to Forte di Tenna and the Chiesetta di San Valentino, and can be started in Tenna. The Dòs dei Osèi trail leads across the high ground near Lago di Caldonazzo. This allows you to compare different hiking experiences: a longer circuit, high-altitude trails or shorter sections through nature.

Art, Remembrance and Activities for Families

The Bosco della Memoria is a 480-meter-long walking trail featuring 23 works by artists from Trentino. Two viewpoints there offer views of Lago di Levico. For families, the “I Segreti degli Gnomi” walking trail is divided into two routes: the route with the red gnome is dedicated to children, while the route with the green gnome is for families.

Another historic trace is the Roman milestone found in Tenna. It bears the inscription XXXXI [M(ilia) p(assuum)], indicating the distance from Feltre. Today, the milestone stands by the town hall on Via Venezia. During a walk through Tenna, you can therefore combine landscape, trails and history without every outing having to focus on the same theme.

Discover Tenna as a Holiday Apartment Destination

When choosing accommodation, you can therefore base your decision on the daily rhythm you prefer. A holiday apartment in Tenna is a suitable starting point for planning a trip in which you would like to alternate between nature trails, an 11.5-kilometer hike, lake views, works of art and historic destinations. The contrast between the two gnome routes, the forest trail to Alberè Park and the trails across the high ground above Lago di Caldonazzo is particularly vivid. These specific destinations help you determine the character of your days as early as when choosing your holiday location.
