Nonsberg Group

Most of the Nonsberg Group, or Val di Non Alps, belongs to the Trentino, but Mt. Mendola located above Caldaro and Appiano borders on the Autonomous Province of Bolzano

The Nonsberg Group is part of the southern Limestone Alps, the Mendola Ridge in the south of South Tyrol makes up most of the mountain group. In the north, the Nonsberg Group is delimitated by the Prissiano Forest at the Passo Palade pass, in the east by the Valle dell'Adige and in the west by the Val di Non. The Val di Non, located in the valleys and on the slopes of the Nonsberg Group, is separated into the Upper Val di Non (South Tyrol) and the Val di Non in Trentino. Localities like Proves, Lauregno, Senale-San Felice, Fondo and Cles are characterised by a very special atmosphere. The mountain ranges which surround these peaks are the Fiemme Mountains, the Sarentino Alps, the Brenta Group and the Ortles Alps.

The Nonsberg Group is a well-known biking and hiking area. The three most popular mountains - all of them in South Tyrol - are Mt. Penegal (1,737 m a.s.l.), Mt. Macaion (1,866 m a.s.l.) and Mt. Roen (2,116 m a.s.l.). The 1,363 m high Passo Mendola is the connection of the provinces of South Tyrol and Trentino and can also be reached by the Mendola Funicular from Caldaro. Also in winter, these mountains are popular destinations, e.g. for the snowshoe hike to the Oltradige Mountain Hut or for the winter hike to the Luco Mountain Hut on the Passo Palade above Lana.
