Water is Val di Sole’s distinguishing natural element, around which are based many of the options the valley offers its guests.

Water is a fundamental element in Val di Sole and its importance is also reflected in the origins of the valley’s place name sol. According to several sources, Sol in fact comes from Sulis, the Celtic goddess of water, the life-giving mother goddess. 

River Noce

They call it a river, but it is actually a stream and it has shaped Val di Sole, flowing down from the Ortles Cevedale mountains, where it rises, to where it feeds into Lake Santa Giustina, in Val di Non. Considered one of the best in the world for river sports, it plays an undisputed major role in the valley’s tourism options.   

Lakes

Crystal clear waters waiting to be discovered and amaze you. Val di Sole has over a hundred and each one is a canvas onto which the colours of the surrounding mountains and meadows reflect. You cannot leave Val di Sole without first having admired at least a few and so here are the absolute must-sees. 

Thermal Spas

The thermal springs in Val di Sole have been famous since ancient times for the therapeutic benefits of their waters. Today the Terme di Pejo and Terme di Rabbi spas, both in  Stelvio National Park, team in a modern key the curative properties of the water with the regenerating qualities of the nature that surrounds them, in a logic of overall wellbeing.
