Arco — Rocca e Ulivi, Sarca Valley

Trentino-Alto Adige

Arco's ruined rocca sits on a sheer limestone crag above the town, a striking silhouette that has drawn climbers and rock-climbing enthusiasts for decades. Below it, the Sarca valley's unusually mild microclimate supports some of the northernmost commercial olive groves in Italy, visible on the terraces beneath the fortress.
