LEARNING

You will have learned many things by the end of your walk!

We will tell you all about apples: how the farmers work, of the weather, which sometimes supports the apples’ growth and sometimes hinders it, of the animals and insects that inhabit the orchards. We will show you the landscape and describe its history. We shall tell you why the trees get ill and need to be cured, and we will tell you a unique and simple story, the story of 5.000 families that work together...

PLAYING

Learning through play. Nothing is better suited than AlMeleto!

Every now and then, as you follow the itinerary, you will encounter some strangely intriguing houses which only open with a magic key. What is hidden inside them? Among the trees, if you raise your eye line towards the sky, you will notice some funny figures. Will you be able to progress beyond them or will you have to solve a riddle first? This apple that rolls, rolls, rolls, where will it end? 

WALKING

Because, in the end, AlMeleto has always been such a wonderful path to take!

Loved and visited by the locals, the AlMeleto path is a real discovery for all, inhabitants of the Val di Non included! A different and unknown corner of the Val di Non which, step by step, offers unique and unexpected views. A path suitable for all, bicycles and baby carriers, there is only a little uphill piece in the final bit. Comfortable shoes and clothing is all you need, and then off you go!

RELAXING

Val di Non, the most soothing of the Trentino valleys.

Imagine a terrace from which you can embrace an entire valley, a bed from which you can enjoy the view of the snowy peaks of the Dolomites, comfortable hammocks in the wood where you can lie listening to the soft noise of the moving leaves. Sit down into a giant apple that changes colours with the passing of the seasons and rest for some time in a hut full of books...

EATING

Raise a hand if you like good food!

Before or after walking though the AlMeleto path, the Val di Non cuisine must be tasted. There are many products of this territory and there are many places to taste them: agritourisms, refuges, small mountain barns and restaurants. Have you ever tasted a tortel de patate? Have you ever heard of the “gnocchi smalzadi” or of the “mosa”? And have you ever had a slice of “mortandela”? No, we did not say mortadella... 

MORTANDELA!  Ok, it is really time to book a table.

SLEEPING

No, really, much more than going to sleep.

We told you how beautiful is Val di Non, how many things you can do in this territory, we have told you about good food, castles, alpine lakes, canyons. Did you know that the locals are very hospitable and welcoming? At this stage it is perfectly acceptable to dream of a holiday in Val di Non and we can give you all information to realise this dream. First of all, you can start looking forward to the scent of wood, the cosy feeling of a soft white duvet, the heat of a working stove, the fragrant aroma of a cake just taken out of the oven.

shopPING

A strange road, full of tasty things!

The Association Strada della Mela e dei Sapori (The road of apples and tastes) coordinates and promotes over 100 producers who cultivate, work, transform, refine and distil the precious gifts of this generous fertile earth. Many estates are spread across the territory open for guests, for purchases and for tastings.

A gift to yourself or your friends, what could be more beautiful?
