Andalo, a mountain town in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, lies on a plateau between the Brenta Dolomites and the Paganella massif. Known for its year-round appeal, Andalo is a popular destination for both winter sports enthusiasts and summer visitors drawn to its alpine landscapes. In the colder months, the Paganella Ski Area offers a well-maintained network of slopes with stunning views of the surrounding peaks, while a system of lifts connects the town to higher elevations, making it a favourite among skiers and snowboarders. During summer, the same terrain transforms into a paradise for hikers and mountain bikers, with trails winding through forests, meadows, and panoramic ridges.  

Beyond its outdoor attractions, Andalo provides a lively atmosphere with a mix of traditional charm and modern amenities. The town’s centre is home to a variety of restaurants and mountain lodges serving Trentino specialities, while the Andalo Life Park adds to its appeal with sports facilities, a wellness centre, and activities for families. Lago di Molveno, just a short distance away, offers a stunning contrast to the rugged mountains, its clear waters framed by dense forests and sheer cliffs. The lake is a favourite spot for swimming, canoeing, and leisurely walks along its shores.  

Andalo’s location makes it a convenient base for exploring nearby areas of Trentino. The city of Trento, with its Renaissance palaces, historic piazzas, and the Castello del Buonconsiglio, is within easy reach, providing a cultural counterpoint to the town’s alpine surroundings. Further west, the Adamello Brenta Nature Park extends across a vast area of protected wilderness, home to glaciers, waterfalls, and diverse wildlife, including the elusive brown bear. Whether enjoying the slopes in winter, hiking the Dolomite trails in summer, or relaxing by the lake, Andalo offers a variety of experiences set against the dramatic beauty of northern Italy’s mountain landscapes.​
