Campodenno between orchards and cultural heritage
Accommodation in Campodenno
Campodenno is a small village at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites, among the orchards of the lower Val di Non. If you’re looking for a hotel for a stay here, you can plan your trip around the themes that define Campodenno: walks along the edge of the forest, views across the valley, and churches, art and historic places. There is also an uphill route. This makes it easy to decide whether you want to focus on scenery, activity or cultural heritage.
Trails and scenery
The Lez di Campodenno is a flat walking trail along the edge of the forest, following an old irrigation channel. The channel gives the trail a historic connection to irrigation, while the forest edge provides its scenic setting. One section is cut into the rock and secured with a wooden railing; this distinctive construction detail adds a striking feature along the way. Numerous viewpoints offer views across the Val di Non. Along the Lez, you can enjoy both the immediate landscape at the forest’s edge and sweeping views of the valley.
The Dolomiti Brenta Bike route offers opportunities for hiking and mountain biking in Campodenno. These provide different ways to get active alongside a walk along the Lez. The uphill route to Malga d’Arza starts at the level of Campodenno, in front of the ancient hermitage of San Pancrazio. The walking trail and the uphill route are different options to consider when planning your trip. As conditions on mountain roads can change, check them before setting off.
Churches, art and history
The history of Castel Belasi also brings together a specific date and the surrounding landscape. Corrado Chuen da Termeno acquired the castle in 1368. The siege chamber at Castel Belasi offers sweeping panoramic views across the Val di Non. The castle’s history of acquisition and the view across the valley are two distinct aspects of this place.
The old church of San Pancrazio is a stop on the Cammino Jacopeo d’Anaunia pilgrimage route. For those interested in pilgrimage traditions, this offers a connection not only to an individual church but also to a named pilgrimage route. In Segonzone, the Church of Saints Philip and James is entirely covered with frescoes by the brothers Giovanni and Battista Baschenis. The works include a Last Supper in the Baschenis style, more than four metres long. This single depiction offers a specific point of reference within the extensive fresco decoration.
PrĂ del MarciĂ adds another dimension to these themes: the site was used as a marketplace until the 18th century. Together with the castle and churches, it offers a historical perspective that encompasses not only buildings and art but also the former function of a public square.
Plan your journey
For planning public transport, bus line B620 is relevant: it connects Cles with Mezzolombardo and is associated with access to Campodenno. Check the current timetable before travelling. If you are also considering the route to Malga d’Arza, take into account the changing conditions on mountain roads. This way, you can treat your journey and the different types of routes as separate points to plan while looking for a hotel for your stay in Campodenno.
