The walnut trail, runs across the Bleggio area, where for centuries people have been growing walnut trees, the typical product of the valley endorsed by the Slow Food movement. The walnut is the heart of this territory, characterized by a picturesque scenery peppered with historic rural hamlets, and the itinerary reveals tucked-away corners and lanes off the beaten path.
The Walnut Trail is an easy, accessible walk through terraced meadows, dry-stone walls and small rural hamlets, where majestic walnut trees shape the shade and the landscape. 

Along the way you’ll find 7 information panels that turn the walk into a journey through the history of the walnut in Trentino: from local varieties and uses of the wood to homemade cakes and liqueurs, with botanical tips to recognise the tree in different seasons and simple care suggestions.

The route alternates country lanes and comfortable mule tracks, with short panoramic climbs opening views over valleys, villages and cultivated fields. In spring the meadows bloom; in summer the walnut trees offer cool shade; in autumn the golden foliage takes centre stage; in winter the bare crowns draw a minimalist landscape.

Perfect for families, photographers and anyone who loves to combine nature and local culture: each stop tells a piece of the area’s identity and the relationship between community and agricultural landscape.
