Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Trentino, Italy

The north of the region borders Austria and Switzerland, and stretches to the Unesco-protected Dolomites and enchanting Lake Como in the south. Come winter, white slopes draw avid skiers, and in springtime, the mountainsides are covered with croci and Alpine snowdrops. Rustic villages with pretty bell towers dot the landscape, and spa towns Merano, Lèvico Terme and Peio offer soothing relief for ski-sore limbs. Oenophiles rejoice, these soils produce pinot noir and sparkling wine, perfect when paired with speck, Tyrol’s unctuous smoked ham.
