Roncone

Roncone with its approximately 1,400 inhabitants is the most populated hamlet, as well as the municipal seat of the new municipality of Sella Giudicarie. Situated at an altitude of 840 m a.s.l., this typical village stretches along the gentle slopes on the orographic right side of the Valle Del Chiese. Roncone is overlooked by the St. Stephan parish church which houses precious furnishings, wooden altars and a wonderful altarpiece of the Assumption dating back to the 18th century.

The village of Roncone was based on agricultural and artisanal activities, as evidenced by Trentino's first, almost 6 km long "lattedotto" (milk pipeline) which once connected Roncone to Malga Avalina. In recent years the village has become an increasingly popular tourist destination thanks to its bathing lake. Embedded in the verdant landscape north-east of the village, Lago di Roncone, which was awarded the Bandiera Blu is a well-known hiking and picnic destination and can be reached by a cycle path or a romantic panoramic path. This natural gem features an interesting biotope on its northern shore.

Hikers can find numerous hiking and walking paths leading from the valley floor up to the malghe of the Val Bondone.
