Valle del Chiese

The snow-covered slopes of the Brenta and Adamello frame the Chiese Valley in the southwest of Trentino, amid picturesque artificial lakes, forts, and the ruins of majestic castles. In winter, the valley is dotted with numerous frozen waterfalls, attracting thousands of ice climbing enthusiasts. One of the custodians of these places is Placido Corradi, who welcomed the first climbers in 1979 at his inn. In Val Daone, among the young climbers, there is Angelo Davorio. In the enchanting scenery of the Giudicarie, Riccardo Valenti engages in ski mountaineering with a focus on safety. Following the flow of the Chiese River, you reach Storo, where historian Giovanni Zontini resides. Here, Vigilio Giovannelli, President of the "Cooperativa Agri90," produces Storo Yellow Flour with local corn, nicknamed the "red gold." Crossing the border with Lombardy, you find Lake Idro, housing a Nature Reserve. Perched on the lake, Bondone overlooks the area, once inhabited primarily by charcoal burners. Due to the abundance of local forests, the "Wood School" was established in Praso in 1995, with Giacomo Nicolini among its founders. Some students, like Osvaldo Filosi, have combined manual skills with a spiritual experience. Finally, in this oasis of peace, the mountains appear as sacred places, captivating even paraglider pilot Luca Tamburini.
