Vermiglio, upper Val di Sole below the Tonale Pass

Vermiglio is the last municipality in Val di Sole before the Tonale Pass, in Trentino, with its houses grouped in several hamlets along the valley floor and meadows rising towards the forest. This is real mountain living, above a thousand metres, with long, snowy winters (climate zone F). In winter the pass brings skiers, in summer walkers, and some of the houses are second homes.

Buyers need to budget for heating, insulation and snow clearance, and accept that larger services are further down the valley. The village itself has 2 pharmacies, 2 schools and 3 supermarkets according to the data.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,789 residents in 2023, down 4.3% since 2011. The average age of 45.6 is in line with 45.4 for the province, over-65s are 22.4% and foreign residents 5.7%. Households have 2.18 members on average.

Earthquake risk is moderate: zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.052 g in the built-up area, as in 146 other municipalities in Trentino. For mountain houses, the roof's ability to carry snow and the state of the walls matter more.

There is one important difference from most of Italy. The province of Trento uses the land register system known as catasto tavolare, and the Revenue Agency does not publish its parcel maps here. The report for an address in Vermiglio says so and works with elevation, slope, hazard maps and nearby services.

Key points

  • Upper Val di Sole, below the Tonale Pass.
  • Mountain village above a thousand metres, climate zone F.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Vermiglio 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 0.052 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 4.3%. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 22% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 5.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Vermiglio is not among the radon priority areas designated 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 contaminated sites in Vermiglio.

Landslides and flooding

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