Vermiglio

Description

Vermiglio is a typical mountain town, situated at the western edge of the Val di Sole, on the slopes of Monte Boai, with a splendid view of the peaks of the Adamello-Presanella. It is a climatic resort visited all year round: in Summer, in fact, it is possible to hike to the peaks of the Presanella, practice mountain biking or spend pleasant moments along the banks of the picturesque lakes near the stream Vermigliana. In Winter, its proximity to the Passo Tonale, snow lovers practice alpine skiing, while those who love peace and quiet prefer cross-country skiing in Val di Sole.
Its geographical position has, in a sense, marked the town's history: a custom zone on the border of its region for all the people, goods and armies, that moved over the centuries along the road of the Tonale and scenario of several battles. During the First World War, the population was transferred to Austria, to the refugee camp of Mittendorf. In 1918 the main centre was rebuilt, according to the ancient urban plan and after World War II its economy submitted a gradual change, moving from agriculture and farming to tourism.
