Etschtal


The Etschtal is the name given to that part of alpine valley of the Adige in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, which stretches from Merano to Bolzano and from Salorno to Rovereto.
South of Rovereto, the valley's name changes to Vallagarina, but Val d'Adige is sometimes used to define the whole river valley, up to its entrance into the Padan Plain.
The valley separates: at the top, the Alps from the Dolomites ; at the bottom the Pre-Alps and Lake Garda from the Venetian pre-Alps.
