Autumn in Tesino: Trentino's most authentic season
When you think of Trentino in autumn, you probably still imagine August queues or December’s snowy slopes. In Tesino, however, October and November are when the region reveals its most authentic side: larch forests turning to gold, villages returning to their quiet state, genuine local festivals, and perfect temperatures for effortless walking. It is the right season for those seeking a different kind of mountain vacation, far from the crowds and close to the warmth of the fireplace in the evening.
Foliage on the Lagorai
From late September to mid-November, the woods surrounding Tesino are transformed: larches and beeches turn to golden and copper tones, giving the Lagorai trails an atmosphere that simply doesn’t exist in summer. You don’t need to tackle demanding treks to enjoy it: even a short walk in the Tesino Arboretum in Pieve Tesino, or along the lower paths towards Passo Brocon, is enough to immerse yourself in the colors of autumn.
Those looking for something more structured can take on one of the easy trails described in our guide to trekking in the Lagorai, perhaps choosing the Trodo dei Fiori, which is perfect even at a slow pace during this season.
The Radicchio Festival in Bieno
In October, the village of Bieno celebrates its signature product with the Radicchio Festival: locally grown red radicchio becomes the star of appetizers, first courses, and even desserts, during a traditional festival weekend that is well worth adding to your itinerary if you are staying during this period.
