Temù, the upper Val Camonica near Ponte di Legno

Temù lies in the upper Val Camonica, at around 1,150 metres, along the river Oglio just below Ponte di Legno. It is a mountain village with one foot in tourism: ski lifts link it to the Ponte di Legno and Tonale ski area, and from its territory the Val d'Avio climbs towards the lakes and glaciers of the Adamello range.

House hunters here will find two markets. On one side the homes of year-round residents, on the other holiday flats, often in blocks built for the ski season. For the latter, ask about service charges (spese condominiali), the rules on short lets and the state of the roof and systems; for all of them the climate counts, zone F, with long winters and heavy snow.

Temù has been gaining residents: Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,141 in 2023, up 5.4% on 2011. The average age is 46.5 and 25.9% of residents are over 65, against 22.8% in the province of Brescia. Foreign residents make up 7.4%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department scale, like 153 of the 205 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of 0.057 g. In the mountains, the snow load on the roof and the condition of timber structures matter more than earthquakes.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, so the report finds the plot from the address. Avalanches, landslides and torrent floods are read on the official maps for the exact spot.
