Andalo

Andalo (Àndel in local dialect) is a comune (municipality) in Trentino in north Italy, with some 1,200 inhabitants in 2021.

The town lies on the Paganella plateau, between the mountains Piz Galin, elevation 2,442 metres (8,012 ft), and Paganella, 2,125 metres (6,972 ft), and its territory is part of the Adamello-Brenta natural park.

The area was first settled during the Middle Ages, and used to be divided into 13 hamlets called “masi” (Bortolon, Cadin, Casanova, Clamer, Dos, Fovo, Ghezzi, Melchiori, Monech, Pegorar, Perli, Pont and Toscana), which eventually merged into a single town.

During the second part of the 20th century the village became one of the most famous touristic resorts in Trentino, mainly due to its skiing facilities.

The Paganella Ski Resort is located in the municipality, where Alpine Rockfest is held annually.
