With its 2,240 inhabitants, Malé (740 m a.s.l.) is the main village, administrative and cultural centre of the Val di Sole. This locality also houses the Museum of the Culture of the Val di Sole (”Museo della Civiltà Solandra”).
The Assumption of Mary parish church dates back to the 16th century and hosts numerous sacral art works of the 17th century. Also the old Venetian sawmill and the Marinelli del Pondasio smithy, one of the few examples of a still working water-powered forge in the Alps, are definitely worth visiting.
Only a few kilometres from the Stelvio National Park, the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park and the thermal baths of Rabbi, where you can practise outdoor sports, undertake walks or hikes of all types or even extreme sports such as free climbing, rafting or ponting in summer. In winter, Malé is the ideal starting point for cross-country ski, snowshoeing and mountaineering ski tours. The ski lifts of the
Folgarida-Marilleva and the Madonna di Campiglio ski areas are only a few kilometres away from the village.
The hamlets of Bolentina, Magras, Montes and Arnago are also part of the municipality of Malé.
