Fai della Paganella: Andalo - Meriz

The landscape around Fai della Paganella is a wooded mountain terrace on the eastern slopes of the Paganella massif, which has shaped both the compact settlement and an economy centred on mountain tourism and farming. The village stands in Trentino above the Adige Valley, while the Brenta Dolomites rise to the west; the Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Fai belongs to the Paganella ski area, with lifts and pistes linked to nearby Andalo. In warmer months, the surrounding forests and mountain roads form part of the hiking and cycling country of the wider Dolomites.

Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol is renowned across Italy for the Dolomites, whose pale limestone massifs define much of its eastern skyline. This autonomous region follows the upper Adige basin, from vineyards and apple orchards around Bolzano to high valleys crossed by glaciers and Alpine passes. Its character is distinctly multilingual: Italian and German are official languages, while Ladin remains in use in several Dolomite valleys. Medieval castles, Tyrolean customs and Italian city life meet in a borderland historically connected with Tyrol.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
