The Markets of Rango nel Bleggio, one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in Italy”
Voted among “the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy”, Rango nel Bleggio is a small jewel of rural architecture that on Advent weekends (and also afterwards) offers itself to market lovers in all its uniqueness: the artisan stalls are located inside the houses, in the courtyards, and in narrow cellars.
In this setting, you will find skilled artisans working leather, mountain pasture dairy products, Trentino honey, compotes, jams, organic creams, and handmade objects. Impossible to leave empty-handed!
The village taverns offer authentic Trentino flavors and culinary traditions, such as polenta, zelten, and the typical strauben with jam.

Now let's move on to the third and final suggestion, a classic: the Trento Christmas Markets.
In Trento, history, shopping, and Christmas Markets meet
Over time, the one in Trento has become one of the most famous Christmas Markets in Italy. It takes place throughout the Advent period, from late November to early January, with artisan and food stalls between the very central Piazza Battisti and Piazza Fiera. Each edition is renewed with a rich calendar of events and some novelties. For example, this year you must experience the walk through the streets of the center of Trento, embellished with truly spectacular light projections. Visiting Trento is a unique opportunity not only for Christmas shopping and drinking vin brulè, but above all to get to know the historical places that characterize it, from the Cathedral to the Muse – Science Museum, up to the watchtowers of the ancient Castello del Buonconsiglio. Do not miss a visit to Torre Aquila.
Trento Christmas Market – Opening days and hours:
From November 21st, 2025 to January 6th, 2026 in Piazza Fiera and in Piazza Cesare Battisti. Open every day.
Madonna di Campiglio is located in the center of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Trentino, as it is distant:
- 40 Km from Rango nel Bleggio

Between one ski run and another, it is worth visiting at least one, don't you think?
See you soon and Happy Holidays to everyone again!
