Tenno

Those who have previously visited Tenno and all its contrasts cannot forget it in a hurry: this little community and its immediate surroundings turn out to be quite big on closer inspection! The absolute highlight is Lake Tenno, which can be reached via a picturesque and winding road from Riva del Garda, and whose blue tone has even made a name for itself as “Blu di Tenno”. The “borgo” of Canale di Tenno, named as one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, is also definitely worth a visit – its medieval alleyways will transport you back in time to the Middle Ages.

Tenno is also located in the “Riserva di Biosfera Alpi Ledrensi e Judicaria UNESCO”, a nature park that treats visitors to an exceptional wealth of biodiversity, as well as many historical and cultural attractions. A short walk through the woods around the village or a visit to major sites, such as the Chiesa di San Lorenzo or Tenno Castle, make a perfect end to a trip here. A visit to the underground Varone waterfall, almost 100 metres in height, and its caves should also feature on any to-do list – a sight that once captivated
the world-famous author Thomas Mann!

A few kilometres above Lake Tenno, 765 metres above sea level, the Passo del Ballino connects Garda Trentino with the Comano Terme region and the foothills of the Brenta Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
