Territory 2: Valle dei Mocheni<br />

The Valle dei Mòcheni area falls within the sec<strong>on</strong>d type of territories, where their touristic<br />

development has already been started, but their competitiveness could not be maintained or boosted as<br />

these areas are isolated locati<strong>on</strong>s off the touristic track or places that do not have str<strong>on</strong>gly appealing<br />

attracti<strong>on</strong>s, or they have attracti<strong>on</strong>s, but they are unable to implement an effective strategy of<br />

promoti<strong>on</strong> marketing.<br />

Valle dei Mòcheni is famous for being a linguistic isl<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> populated by people of German origin who<br />

speak an ancient language of Bavarian origin <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> who believe in maintaining ancient traditi<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

local folklore.<br />

The area sees the presence of multiple stakeholders who are involved in the management of local<br />

resources, in particular natural resources, as Valle dei Mòcheni is the largest area in Trentino with<br />

very low anthropisati<strong>on</strong>. The area also boasts a wealth of real estate, c<strong>on</strong>sisting of hotels,<br />

argi<strong>tourism</strong>s, shelters <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> mountain chalets, all of which provide a good basis for the development of<br />

a tourist accommodati<strong>on</strong> area.<br />

Valle dei Mòcheni is a river valley traversed by Fersina, between Pinè <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the western tops of the<br />

Lagorai group, namely Panarotta, Fravort, Gr<strong>on</strong> Lait, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> has well defined borders (Figure 8). The<br />

whole area is located, geographically <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> administratively, inside the Comprensorio Alta Valsugana<br />

C4.<br />
