Christmas amid castles
Discover Val di Non's castles in winter
"How did they keep warm without radiators, dad?" Your child tugs at your sleeve of your coat and looks at you with curiosity. Outside, snow is turning the great tower of Castel Valer white, while inside its large rooms are decked out in Christmas decorations and lights. You take her by the hand and show her the large fireplace, which is much taller than she is, and then the large olla stove covered with colourful tiles. Because even keeping warm can be an art form that varies from place to place.
Visiting castles is a great way to read history. And it's fun. Especially in certain castles, such as those in Val di Non, which organise a range of Christmas-themed initiatives for families in winter.

Trenino dei Castelli - Christmas Train
Combine visits to castles with good food, and a taste of local products. How? Getting onboard the Castle Train. We all set off together from Trento's small train station, up the Adige Valley through valleys and apple orchards, stopping off at the castles of Val di Non with some tasty interludes.
Within the walls of Thun Castle
One of Trentino's most prestigious (and best preserved) castles. Snow-coloured it is truly magical! We are talking about Thun Castle, symbol of the powerful Thun Counts. Visiting it is a journey back in time, through aristocratic furniture, old carriages and works of art.
