Levico Terme, the lake, the spa and the Valsugana

Levico Terme lies between its lake and the mountains of the Valsugana valley, about twenty kilometres from Trento. It has long been a spa town: the spa park, with its big trees and buildings from the Habsburg era, recalls the years when holidaymakers from the Habsburg Empire came here. Above the town the road climbs to Vetriolo and the Panarotta, where there is skiing in winter.

Commuters to Trento can use the Valsugana railway, which stops in the town, and the main road along the valley floor. The housing market has two sides: flats for residents in the centre and in the newer parts of the plain, and holiday homes near the lake, which fills with visitors in summer. If you plan to live here all year, remember that Levico is at around 500 metres in climate zone F, with long winters, so insulation and heating weigh on running costs.

The population has grown strongly: 8,253 residents in 2023, up 9.8% on 2011, which means 737 more people. The estimated average age is 45.4, the same as in the province, and over-65s account for 23.4%. Foreign residents make up 8.5%.

Trentino has low earthquake hazard. Levico is in seismic zone 3 of the national classification, like almost the whole province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is low, about 0.089 g. On the steep valley sides, landslides and mountain streams matter more.

One point needs attention. Trentino uses the land register system known as the Libro fondiario, run by the autonomous province, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish parcel maps here. The report therefore cannot trace the cadastral plot and says so; ownership and boundaries are checked in the land register. Landslide and flood checks on the address still work.

Key points

  • Lake, spa park and a station on the Valsugana railway.
  • Population up 9.8% since 2011.
  • Seismic zone 3, low expected acceleration of about 0.089 g.
  • Land register system: no Revenue Agency cadastral maps.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Levico Terme is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (147 of 166) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.089 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Radon and contaminated sites

Levico Terme is one of the municipalities designated as a radon priority area by the Provincia autonoma di Trento in 2026. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is medium. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list no open contaminated sites in Levico Terme; one has been cleaned up or closed.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Levico Terme: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

For Levico Terme the Revenue Agency does not publish cadastral maps: the land registry here uses the tavolare (land book) system. The report cannot give a parcel reference, but it still checks risks, services and transport at the address and states this clearly.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 49 inhabited census areas in Levico Terme. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 70 or more.
