Between the Sarca, the Arnò and the valleys

The Sarca River and the Arnò stream meet near Tione di Trento. Meadows, forests and chestnut groves stretch around the town. The wider travel area is also shaped by the river: the Parco Fluviale della Sarca includes, among other areas, the municipality of Tione di Trento.

Tione is also an important road junction for trips to Lake Garda, Val Rendena and the Terme di Comano. Routes in different directions offer different options for planning your trip. If you want to spread your activities across several valleys, you can consider the destinations and the most suitable way to reach each one separately.

Historic places and local traditions

The Giro delle fontane is an urban walking route through Tione di Trento. It connects old stone basins from the town’s various rioni, or neighbourhoods. These include Brevine, one of the oldest neighbourhoods. In this way, water leads not only to the river landscape but also to the town’s historic layout.

On the banks of the Sarca, near the sports centre in Tione di Trento, the Chiesetta di San Vigilio stands on a slightly raised rocky outcrop. According to tradition, the chapel commemorates the place where the current deposited the body of Vigilius. Its small sacristy contains medieval frescoes. Tione’s large parish church dates back to the early Middle Ages. Along with San Vittore, religious celebrations and local events are also part of the town’s patronal festivities.

Walks, hikes and cycling

In summer, paths through the forests and meadows around Tione di Trento are also suitable for family-friendly walks. For longer hikes, routes from Tione cross towards Val Rendena or Valle del Chiese. This offers different options, from a seasonal walk to longer trips towards the valleys. Which activity suits your stay depends on how you want to spend your time.

There are cycle paths and quiet side roads in the surrounding area that are suitable for cycling. Together with the hiking trails, they make it possible to plan a stay centred on exploring the landscape on foot or by bike. If a particular feature is essential for your trip, check the details in the specific listing.
