Highlights & Landmarks
Andalo
Overview
Set on the Paganella Plateau at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites, Andalo is a mountain resort in Trentino renowned for its long-standing tourist tradition. The village lies at over 1,000 metres above sea level and is set in an open natural environment characterised by meadows, forests and panoramic views of the main Dolomite peaks. Historically linked to agriculture and livestock farming, Andalo experienced significant development during the 20th century as a centre for both summer and winter tourism, thanks to the Paganella ski area and a well-developed network of sporting and hospitality facilities.
Gastronomy
The gastronomy of Andalo and the Paganella plateau is rooted in Trentino’s mountain tradition – honest, local, and deeply connected to the land. At the heart of it all is tortel di patate, made with the Kennebec potato and so iconic it even has its own brotherhood. The area thrives on agriculture, especially apples, berries, and honey, thanks to a strong beekeeping culture. Local specialties also include the prized white asparagus from Zambana and alpine char, a freshwater delicacy that reflects the region’s lakes and streams. Alongside these, craftsmanship shines through in artisanal products and even locally roasted coffee, where tradition meets quality in unexpected ways.
Wine & Drinks
The Paganella area lies within the renowned Piana Rotaliana Königsberg, one of Trentino’s most important wine regions. Its flagship is Teroldego Rotaliano DOC, a bold and expressive red shaped by unique soil conditions. Alongside it grow varieties such as Lagrein, Merlot, Cabernet, Pinot Noir, and Schiava, as well as native grapes like Nosiola. White wines are equally prominent, with Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, and Müller Thurgau offering fresh, aromatic profiles. The region also has a strong tradition of grappa, alongside apple juices, ciders, and locally brewed craft beers, each reflecting the alpine environment in its own way.
Highlights & Landmarks
Set on the Paganella plateau, Andalo is an alpine destination where nature, sport, and tradition come together against a stunning Dolomite backdrop. A key hub is Andalo Life, a modern sports and leisure center offering everything from swimming pools and an ice arena to climbing areas, wellness spaces, and multi-sport facilities designed for year-round activity.
The town itself retains traces of its medieval origins along the ancient Imperial Road, with its layout shaped by historic farmsteads (masi) that can still be explored along a scenic circular route. A defining natural feature is Lake Andalo, a karst lake that changes with the seasons, perfect for relaxing walks in summer and cross-country skiing in winter. Towering above it all is Piz Galìn, an iconic peak of the Brenta Dolomites, long tied to alpine farming traditions.
For families and nature lovers, the Sarnacli Mountain Park offers an immersive forest trail with interactive experiences, creating a direct and sensory connection with the mountain environment.
