Croviana (local dialect: Croviàna) is a comune (municipality) in Trentino in the northern Italian region Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northwest of Trento. Croviana borders the following municipalities: Malè, Cles and Dimaro Folgarida
The village of Croviana is anRead more ancient settlement located in the valley floor, historically serving as an agricultural, artisanal, and commercial center. Its location also makes it attractive from a tourist perspective. The village is divided into three areas: Carbonara to the southeast, Liciasa to the southwest towards Monclassico, and Croviana to the north towards Malé.
The origins of Croviana date back to the 1200s, when the toponym was documented for the first time. It derives from the Latin name Corvius with the suffix -ana. Located in the Val di Sole, the territory of Croviana was a Roman colony and hosted human settlements since prehistoric times.
Emerald lake cupped in the Brenta Dolomites, famous until 1964 for turning blood-red each summer from an algal bloom. A quiet paved road through Val di Tovel ends near the shore; a flat loop trail circles the water under 2,000-m walls.
