Brentonico, the Flower of Mount Baldo
"Italy’s Garden" in the Heart of Monte Baldo Park
It’s the first mountain you encounter when entering Trentino. Here, you can go trekking and mountain biking in summer, and ski on the slopes of Polsa, San Valentino, and San Giacomo in winter.
You're on the Trentino side of Monte Baldo, between the Adige River and Lake Garda, in the heart of the Monte Baldo Nature Park, known by botanists across Europe as "Italy's Garden" due to its abundance of rare plants and flowers.
Brentonico is the name of the main village, and its municipality includes additional villages and mountain hamlets: Castione, Cazzano, Crosano, Cornè, Prada, Saccone, and Sorne, along with the tourist centers of San Giacomo, San Valentino, and Polsa.
At the botanical garden of Palazzo Eccheli-Baisi, you’ll find many of the 1,655 plant species of Monte Baldo Park, most of which are also found across the Alps. A guided visit is the best way to enjoy it, also including exhibitions at the palace and the Fossil Museum. Experience the silence of the ancient Romanesque crypt in the late medieval Church of SS. Peter and Paul. Relax in the shade of the ancient horse chestnut trees in Cesare Battisti Park, in the heart of the village. In the Sorne area, discover the Zeni Mill, a perfectly functioning 19th-century mill.

The blooming season is perfect for meeting and getting to know the rare plants and flowers that brighten the Brentonico Plateau. Follow the many scenic routes, choosing the one best suited to your abilities, such as the route starting from Polsa, continuing to Bocca d’Ardole, Corno della Paura, and reaching Monte Vignola, or the hike in the wild Val del Parol to admire its precious blooms and grazing animals.
