Mountain massifs in nature, far away from mass tourism
Image gallery: Gruppo delle Maddalene
The Catena delle Maddalene is a mountain range in Trentino which borders the Val d'Ultimo (South Tyrol) towards north and the Passo Palade towards east. In the south it is bordered by the Val di Non and the Val di Sole and in the west by the Passo di Rabbi.
The Gruppo delle Maddalene is formed by gentle slopes and up to 2,700 m high peaks. This lesser known area still features a mainly intact and untouched nature. Especially during spring when nature reawakens, you can admire a fascinating and colourful landscape. The gruppo delle Maddalene is 10 km away from Cles, the main municipality of the Val di Non.
The landscape of this area is particularly suitable for numerous hikes and trekking. The two most popular paths between the peaks of the Maddalene group are the sentiero Bonacossa, leading from Passo Palade to the Valle di Rabbi and the "sentiero Italia", a more than 6,000 km long long-distance path split into 300 daily stages, leading throughout Italy.
