Mezzana is a small mountain village in the Val di Sole and the administrative centre of the eponymous municipality. Embedded in a stunning mountain scenery between the Adamello-Presanella, Ortles-Cevedale and the Brenta Dolomites groups, Mezzana is only a stone's throw from the hamlet of Marilleva. Numerous structures between the two localities, such as an international canoe slalom route and a sports centre with a football field and tennis and bocce courts serve both villages.
Mezzana is also known for its skiing area whose slopes have an overall length of 150 km and varying difficulty levels. In summer the stunning mountain landscape is particularly suitable for hikes on the various paths running in the surroundings of the village.
The locality's economy is based on tourism and commerce. For a few years Mezzana has been connected to the city of Trento thanks to the Trento-Malé railway where also the Val di Sole cycling path and the Nordic Walking route to Commezzadura pass. Currently the municipality of Mezzana counts about 900 inhabitants.
