Levico is one of the few XIX-century thermal towns that has been preserved in its
original design: gardens, footpaths full of flowers, thermal buildings and
traditional hotels. A widely visited naturally elegant town, with houses and
streets in alpine style. In the centre there is the spa renown in the
international medical field for the therapeutic effectiveness of its
arsenical-ferruginous waters without comparison in Italy. The extensive park in
northern style and in its centre the Grand Hotel in Art Nouveau style famous in
Mid-Europe since the 1800 as it was frequented by the Habsburg Family. At the
foot of the town the homonymous fjord-shape green-blue lake: fishing, rowing
boats and water games. Levico offers its guests thermal and climatic health and
well-being, outdoor sports and diversions for guests in the hotels, camping
sites by the lake and in apartments, walks on the hills among castles and
biotopes, looking in the historical centre for ancient and precious examples of
the crafts and cuisine of Trentino-South Tyrol. The prince of cheeses is the
local Vezzena, a strong decisive flavour in the Trentino-South Tyrol cuisine.
Behind Levico, at an altitude of 1,500 m, is the hamlet of Vetriolo; hotels in
the fir-woods near the caves where the thermal water flows from the rock. At a
higher altitude, approx. 2000 m, are the ski-lifts of Panarotta 2002 that can
be easily reached thanks to the good connections to the Valsugana, the Brenner
Motorway and Veneto. Panarotta Mount is the western door of the Lagorai Range:
valleys, mountains, alpine lakes, alpine huts, untouched nature for mountain
hiking. Facing Levico is the Altopiano di Vezzena, the widest in Trentino: its
smooth hills make it the ideal place for summer hikers among meadows, woods,
small farms and historical military fortresses; a northern paradise for
cross-country skiing.
