One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy | Bondone

Bondone is the southernmost municipality of Valle del Chiese, at the farthest south-western edge of Trentino. Perched on the mountain that separates the River Chiese basin from the Lake Garda basin at 720 metres above sea level, Bondone is located in an area with many walking and hiking trails. ➤ History and culture Bondone was once a village of charcoal makers. In spring they used to leave the village for the woods, where they hammered down a hut made of woods and leaves and began to work: they cut wood and started to “carbonà”, to make charcoal. The road that goes from Baitoni to Bondone passes alongside the natural bastion on which the Castle of San Giovanni was built, owned for centuries by the powerful Lodron family of counts, but now municipally-owned and open to the public. In Bondone, it is well worth visiting the fourteenth-century church of the Nativity. ➤ Environment and nature Cycling enthusiasts will enjoy the cycle path along Lake Idro, while those who prefer walking can go beyond Bondone to reach Alpo, where there are mountain huts. The nearby peak Cima Tombea (1947 masl) is known as “the garden on the Alps” due to the many native species of flowers, around 21 species, that make it a site of interest for scientists from around the world. From up here, if you’re lucky, you might see a couple of golden eagles in flight, while the view reaches down to Lake Garda and the Po Valley on a clear day. 😀 A B O U T U S: We are a couple of Professional Tour Guides living between our home countries, Northern Italy and Washington, D.C.
