Discover Mori

In Mori, sacred history and historic buildings meet hiking and cycling trails. When planning your stay, it helps to distinguish between the different routes: the Cammino di San Rocco is a 70-kilometre trail, alongside a circular route and a more challenging ascent for experienced hikers. Local history and traditions also feature in events.

Santuario di Montalbano and historic buildings

The Santuario di Montalbano stands at the foot of the ruins of an ancient castle, destroyed by the Venetians in 1439. Six wooden reliefs on the church portal depict the construction of the church in 1556. At certain times of the year, the Santuario serves as a venue for organised pilgrimages by the parish of Mori; it is also a stage of the Cammino di San Rocco. The Sagra di San Giuseppe is associated with the Santuario and usually takes place on the last Sunday in March.

There are also buildings from different periods beyond the Santuario. The Romanesque parish church of Santo Stefano is one of the buildings worth visiting in Mori. A parish house dating from the 15th century stands in Piazza Maggiore, while Palazzo Salvadori dates from the 18th century. Teatro Sociale Gustavo Modena has the architectural features typical of Venetian theatres. In Corniano, Chiesa di Sant’Agata is considered the oldest church in the valley that is still in use.

Hikes and pilgrimage

The Cammino di San Rocco runs for a total of 70 kilometres through Mori. Its first stage runs from Mori to Ronzo-Chienis. It is designated as route F20 and marked with official SAT signs and white-and-red trail markers. When planning, you can take into account both the route of the first stage and the total length of the trail.

The Anello di Mori Alta is a 10.3-kilometre circular route. It starts at the church of Santo Stefano in Mori and has a stated duration of 3 hours and 45 minutes. On the way back, the route first passes through a forest and then through Mori’s old quarter. The more challenging ascent to Monte Nagià Grom follows a different route: it starts in Forno near Mori Vecchio, involves an elevation gain of about 550 metres and takes approximately five hours in total. It is intended for experienced hikers; the details may vary depending on the route taken.

To reach the Santuario di Montalbano, park in Mori or Mori Vecchio and walk to your destination in 15 minutes. The Via Ferrata Ottorino Marangoni – Monte Albano was established in 1976 by the Mori section of CAI-SAT. From the centre of Mori, the uphill path leads to the Santuario, where the via ferrata can be accessed.

Cycling, events and getting there

At Mori, the Ciclovia Adige-Garda connects to the Ciclovia No. 1 of the Valle dell’Adige. The Ciclovia Adige-Garda begins just below the ENEL weir near Mori. This means that cycling network connections are another travel option alongside the hiking trails.

For more than 25 years, Ganzega d’Autunno has transformed Mori’s historic centre into an open-air event bringing together history and local traditions. The programme includes demonstrations of traditional crafts and food stalls serving traditional dishes from Trentino. Together with the Sagra di San Giuseppe, usually held on the last Sunday in March, the events calendar offers occasions at different times of the year. Check the specific event dates before your trip.

Mori can be reached by regional trains via Mori station, by long-distance trains via Rovereto, and by the province’s regional bus services. Check the current timetables before travelling.
