Alpi della Val di Non

The Alps of the Val di Non are a mountain range of the Southern Rhaetian Alps. They are surrounded by the Valle dell'Adige in the north and east, by the Val di Non and the Val di Sole in the south and the Alpi dell'Ortles and the Val d'Ultimo in the west. This group includes two minor groups: the Catena delle Maddalene (Gruppo Olmi-Luco) and the Mendola pass (Gruppo Roen-Macaion), separated by the Alta Val di Non, the Passo delle Palade and the Selva di Prissiano.

The Passo della Mendola (1,363 m a.s.l.) on the eponymous massif, connects the Alta Val di Non to the villages of Cavareno, Fondo, Malosco, Romeno, Ronzone, Rumo and Sarnonico to the municipalities of Appiano and Caldaro in South Tyrol (Alto Adige). Despite having a moderate altitude (with the highest peak being Punta di Quaira (2,752 m a.s.l.) in the Catena delle Maddalene), the Alpi della Val di Non are still a fascinating hiking area with numerous itineraries through forests and alpine pastures and delight everyone with spectacular views in a calm and peaceful area, far away from the chaos of mass tourism.

Highest peak: Monte Roen (2,116 m)
Other peaks: Cima Tuatti, Cima Olmi, Cima Stubele and Monte Luco (or Lucco) in the Catena delle Maddalene; Monte Roen (2,116 m a.s.l.), Monte Macaion, Cima Roccapiana in the Costiera della Mendola.
