Terzolas, in the Val di Sole along the Noce

Terzolas is a village in the Val di Sole, the valley of the Noce torrent in north-western Trentino, a short distance from Malè, the valley's main town. The town hall stands at around 750 metres on the valley floor, with meadows and woods rising up both sides. The Trento-Malè-Mezzana railway runs along the valley, and the main road leads one way to the ski resorts and the other towards the Val di Non and Trento.

Unlike many mountain villages, Terzolas has gained residents. In 2023 Istat, the national statistics institute, counted 643, up 6.1% on 2011. The average age is 46.7, close to the 45.4 of the province, over-65s make up 26.6% and foreign residents 9.8%. Average declared income is slightly below the provincial level.

The housing market splits between homes lived in by local families, often multi-storey family houses, and flats tied to tourism in the valley. The climate zone is F: long, cold winters, so insulation and heating deserve a close look. Near the Noce and the side streams the report reads the official flood maps, and on the slopes the landslide maps.

The seismic picture is calm. Terzolas is in zone 4 of the Civil Protection (Protezione Civile) classification, the lowest, shared with few other Trentino municipalities (15 in all), and the expected ground acceleration is about 0.049 g.

The land registry here is tavolare. In the province of Trento, ownership and rights are recorded in the Land Book (Libro fondiario) and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps, so the report cannot trace the parcel from that source: checks are made at the provincial Cadastre and Land Book offices.

Key points

  • Valley-floor village in the Val di Sole, near Malè.
  • 643 residents, up 6.1% since 2011.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Terzolas is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 15 of 166 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.049 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Terzolas: 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 Terzolas 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.
