Holiday apartment in Pedemonte: trails, waterfalls and history

Pedemonte is a destination for days on holiday made up of hikes, waterfalls, landscapes and history. This is particularly evident in the Sentieri delle Cascate project: Marked hiking trails and three circular routes lead to waterfalls and sights in Pedemonte. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Pedemonte, you can therefore plan your stay around the experiences you would like to discover together.

Waterfalls and trails through Pedemonte

The Sentieri delle Cascate form a network of circular routes that lead hikers and families to places of particular scenic appeal. Their starting point is at the car park of the former municipal office in the Longhi district. A grotto can also be reached via a trail that begins at the village pharmacy. Guided tours to Il Nido di Pedemonte can be booked through the Associazione OGD Pedemontana Veneta e Colli. This combines orientation in the area with special destinations for an active day.

Historic paths and Forte Belvedere

Hiking Trail 595, the Via dell’Ancino, follows a medieval road that connected Val d’Astico with Caldonazzo and Trento. Hiking Trail 597 leads from Brancafora di Pedemonte to Forte Belvedere. This imposing structure has been converted into a museum about the First World War. Hiking Trail 605 runs along the foothills of Belfiore and rocky outcrops in the upper Val d’Astico. Historic paths and architectural remains thus give hiking days different focal points.

Routes for different day plans

Other trails open up various connections through the landscape: Hiking Trail 598 leads from Valle di Rio Torto at the regional border to Eck delle Albarele at the regional border. Hiking Trail 599 runs from Ponte Rio Torto via Capitello Sella del Cavallo to the regional border. Hiking Trail 601 leads from Scalzeri di Pedemonte to Luserna, while Hiking Trail 611 connects Casotto with Malga Croiere. The different starting and finishing points help you plan your excursions according to your interests and preferred daily rhythm. This variety of experiences can be a useful reference point when choosing a holiday apartment in Pedemonte.

Nature observations and distinctive landscape features

Strada de la Riva is a hiking trail in the Pedemonte area. It runs along the eastern mountain slopes through four particularly characteristic contrade of the town. At Malga Laghetto, the Avez del Prinzep is considered Europe’s largest fir tree. The waters of the Astico mountain stream are known among anglers. The nature experience thus ranges from trails through the contrade to distinctive trees and waterways.

Land-art work and historic churches

Il Nido di Pedemonte is an immersive wooden land-art work by Marco Martalar. The church of Brancafora formerly served all the farms in the rear Val d’Astico and partly those on the plateau, and at that time it was the only church in the area. The church of Casotto and the adjoining small cemetery are associated with the year 1748; restoration took place in 1920. Pedemonte therefore also offers destinations for days when cultural and historical discoveries take centre stage alongside hiking.
