Colorful terraces with vines lead into beautiful landscapes,
biotopes and nature reserves. The unique Segonzano pyramids are of
particular interest.
The Altopiano di Pine', situated at an altitude of more or less 900
meters, extends parallelly to Valle dei Mocheni (to the east) and
Valle di Cembra (to the west) valleys with which it forms one
tourist district. The Pine' setting features some lakes including
two particularly large ones, Lago di Serraia and Lago delle Piazze.
In the Altopiano di Pine' fields and woods cover the tableland, where there are some
wetlands and peat bogs.
Valle di Cembra is deep and narrow having
been scoured by the Avisio river. However the valley owes its
unique appearance to the terraces made on the steep sunny slopes
descending to the Avisio river.
These terraces are cultivated with
grapevines which produce excellent wines and grappas. The Valle di Cembra
also features one of the most original geologic formations in
Trentino: the Segonzano pyramids. These earth pinnacles, some tens
of meters high (some with a huge stone on the top), are the result
of the erosion of the mountain sides.
