Ruffre-Mendola

Built around mountain settlements linked by the route across Mendola Pass, Ruffrè-Mendola grew into a small municipality between Trentino’s Val di Non and the Adige Valley. The pass, also called Mendelpass in German, has long connected this upland area with Bolzano and the region’s Italian- and German-speaking communities. Forests and high meadows surround the settlement, while the Mendola ridge marks the transition towards South Tyrol. Opened in 1903, the Mendola Funicular climbs from Kaltern to the pass, a reminder of the area’s early mountain-resort tradition.
