Valdaone, the Daone valley towards the Adamello

Valdaone is a municipality formed by merging Bersone, Daone and Praso, three villages of the Giudicarie looking over the Chiese valley. Behind Daone opens the valley of the same name, which climbs towards the Adamello range among woods, mountain pastures and reservoirs, inside the Adamello Brenta Nature Park. Almost the whole area is mountain: the built-up part is tiny.

Houses are concentrated in the three villages, with stone buildings, renovated homes and a few recent ones; many are summer second homes. Tione di Trento is the town for offices, secondary schools and the hospital, and Trento is within driving distance. Winters are long and cold, so the energy rating and heating count for a lot. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

In 2023 the municipality had 1,148 residents, 5.9% fewer than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is older than Trentino as a whole: an average age of 49.7 against 45.4, with over-65s at 34.8% against 23.6%. Foreign residents make up 1.0%.

Valdaone is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 147 of the 166 municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.093 g. In old stone houses it is worth checking how the walls, floors and roof are tied together, as the roof carries the weight of snow.

The land registry follows Trentino's own system. This is tavolare territory, with the land book kept by the Province, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps: the report cannot trace the address to its land parcel and says so. Checks at the exact location still apply, including landslides and avalanches on the slopes and flooding along the streams.

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

The estimated average age is 50 years, higher than the province average (45). 35% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 1.0% of the population.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Valdaone: 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 Valdaone 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 18 inhabited census areas in Valdaone. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 57 or more.
