Sporminore: Nature, Trails and History

When planning a stay in Sporminore, you can focus on different interests: local history, nature, trails or historic wine traditions. If you are looking for a hotel in Sporminore, you can first consider what you want your trip to focus on. The themes range from a consecration with a precise date to a natural cave, as well as specific routes and historic wine practices. This lets you tailor your trip plans to the interests that matter most to you.

Church history and the ruins of Castel Sporo

The Chiesa della Beata Vergine Maria Addolorata offers a historical reference point with a precise date. It was consecrated on October 27, 1616, and its three altars were also reconsecrated at that time. The event provides a clear chronological anchor for Sporminore’s religious history and a specific starting point for travelers interested in cultural history.

Only ruins remain of Castel Sporo. From the town center, you can reach Castel Sporo by following the signposted route of the Cammino Jacopeo d'Anaunia. The church and Castel Sporo offer different historical perspectives: a precise date of consecration on the one hand, and a ruin site reached by a designated trail on the other.

A cave and a trail through beech forests

Bus de la Spia is a natural cave above Sporminore. Its upper section contains lakes and impressive stalactites. The Tracciolo Trail follows an old, level path through beech forests above Sporminore to the Busoni spring, with its attractive wooden bridge. While the cave and its upper features are the focus at Bus de la Spia, the Tracciolo Trail is defined by its route through the forest and its destination at the spring.

Trail destinations and route planning

Trail 360 begins at Piazza Anaunia and leads to Malga Sporminore, also known as Malga Vecchia. This gives you two names for the same destination. Check current trail conditions before setting out.

For mountain bikers, the fourth stage of the Tour de Non MTB Experience is another specific route option. It starts in Sporminore on the signposted Dolomiti di Brenta Bike route and follows it to Cles. The route is signposted throughout with dedicated trail markers. Since trail conditions and signage can change, check both before setting off. When choosing a route, it helps to consider the different destinations: Trail 360 leads to Malga Sporminore, while the MTB stage continues to Cles.

Historic wine traditions

Sporminore’s historic wine traditions included household vineyards, winemaking using natural methods and storage in old wooden barrels. The tradition therefore encompassed growing grapes, making wine and storing it. If you want to explore the town’s history beyond its buildings, its wine traditions offer another perspective, focusing on the practices of local households in the past.
