The Trentino and Carisolo is a bit inconvenient to get to unless you have a car. Generally flying in from the US consists of a flight to Milano Malpensa airport, a bus to the center, a train to trento and then another bus to Carisolo. It can be very long and tiring. However, if you're flying here from within Europe, you can make the trip much shorter and much more pleasant by flying into Verona or Montechiari. This is a particularly good option from London, Munchen, Paris, Frankfurt etc. . From either of these two airports, you can get to Carisolo and surroundings in about 1 and 1/2 hours.

Admire the wildflowers, but DO NOT pick them! The people who live in and have foraged, pastured, and cultivated this land have done so with great care. Recently the mountains surrounding Carisolo have been made into part of the Adamello-Brenta park. Please respect the mountains, and all it's beautiful inhabitants and leave the flowers, animals, etc. alone!

If you're coming to this part of the world in the winter, you absolutely cannot miss skiing here. Madonna di Campiglio is one of Europe's Premier ski resorts with a huge terrain that covers 2 sides of the valley. While Pinzolo is much smaller and often has less snow, there are plans afoot (have been for years and now finally about to be realized) that will connect the two resorts with a world cup class downhill run and more lifts. This would make a large and beautiful resort although some are concerned about environmental drawbacks.
Equipment: You can rent ski's in Pinzolo and Campiglio. My favorite spots are Nardis Sport and Il Laboratorio in Pinzolo and Lorenzetti Sport in Campiglio.
