Holiday apartment in Lombardi: Culture, Trails and Nature in Vallarsa

Lombardi is one of Vallarsa’s hamlets and is connected with the municipality’s mapped historic settlements. Choosing a holiday apartment in Lombardi opens up a vacation in which traces of rural life, religious traditions, trails through Vallarsa, and nature experiences involving water and mountains come together. If your travel group has different interests, the region offers points of connection for culture, activity, winter days, and quiet moments by the Leno.

Holiday apartment in Lombardi between culture and history

For 2019, an agricultural and livestock building is recorded in Lombardi. In Vallarsa, the hamlet of the same name is also home to the Mulino di Arlanch. It is the best-preserved and only still-functioning mill in the valley. The Museo di Storia e Cultura Locale offers a broader view of history: It holds historic maps and geographical representations of historic Tyrol and the Cimbrian area with the Valli del Leno. It also contains historic prints, images and photographs, as well as evidence of Cimbrian culture, language and toponymy. This makes it possible to combine days in nature with an activity for visitors who would like to learn more about the region’s history and established cultural heritage.

Religious tradition and local history

Since 2011, “Tintinnabula” has been organised in July to celebrate the community’s dedication to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, with pilgrimages through Vallarsa’s 42 hamlets. Lombardi is one of the hamlets of Vallarsa in which the bell concert of “Tintinnabula” can be heard. Historically, Lombardi belonged to the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the newly established parish. Also historically, the deceased from Lombardi were buried in the S. Tomaso cemetery by the bridge in Rovereto. These connections give the place a religious and historical dimension that extends beyond a single excursion.

Mountain trails and winter routes

The “Sentiero delle Frazioni” trail network is 40 kilometres long and connects 30 of Vallarsa’s 42 hamlets. The “Giro delle Malghe” is a very easy trail in upper Vallarsa at the foot of Monte Cornetto and Baffelan. In winter, it can be travelled on snowshoes or skis. For winter days, the snowshoe routes from Passo Pian delle Fugazze to Passo Campogrosso and from Giazzera to Rifugio Lancia are also regularly groomed, easy and scenic. Depending on the pace of vacation you prefer, you can therefore choose between an extended route connecting several hamlets, a very easy trail, and winter routes offering their own landscape perspectives.

Campogrosso, water and the Leno

Alpe di Campogrosso is part of both the Special Area of Conservation (SAC) IT3120172 “Monti Lessini – Piccole Dolomiti” and the Special Protection Area (SPA) IT3120099 “Piccole Dolomiti”; both areas are part of the Natura 2000 network. Alpe di Campogrosso is home to the three large malga complexes of Malga Bovetal, Malga Prà di Mezzo and Malga Fondi Campogrosso, which provide food and refreshments for visitors and mountaineers. During canyoning in the “Ciama”, the descent ends with a swim in Lago della Busa. Along the Leno, there are Kneipp stations and barefoot trails.
