The Val di Sole is the longest branch of the Val di Non in the north-western part of Trentino and borders with the Ortles group in the north, with the Passo Tonale towards west and the Adamello-Brenta Dolomites in the south. The valley follows the course of the Noce stream to the artificial lake of Santa Giustina near Cles. The Val di Sole is served by the Val di Non railway (ferrovia della Val di Non) until its main locality, Malé. The railway line was recently extended to the Marilleva ski area.
The valley floor stretches from Malé at 700 m a.s.l. to Vermiglio at 1,200 m a.s.l. Many of the surrounding peaks are more than 3,500 m high and the Cevedale, the Punta di San Matteo in the Stelvio National Park, the Crozzon di Lares and Monte Carè Alto in the Adamello group are some of them.
The springs of Pejo and Rabbi are well-known for the therapeutic effects of their mineral water which has given birth to thermal centres. The slope on the Trentino side of the Stelvio National Park is also an important nature reserve for the local fauna and flora of the Alps.
Winter sports lovers are familiar with the ski area of Skirama Adamello Brenta which includes also the skiing areas of Folgarida-Marilleva, Pejo and the Passo Tonale.
