Economic, cultural and administrative center of Val di Sole, Malé, in the province of Trento, is located on the north-eastern part of the sunny terrace moraine, at the confluence of the rivers Noce and Rabbies, between the natural parks of Stelvio and Adamello-Brenta. Due to its geographical position, as well as for modern sports facilities, it is a great holiday location at any time of the year and a perfect starting point to reach the ski resorts of the Valleys of the Sun, Folgarida-Marilleva, Madonna di Campiglio and Pejo and, in summer, excursions along the well-maintained mountain paths or towards the peaks of the Brenta Dolomites.
The name has clear origins and derives from the Latin "maletum" (farm planted with apple).
The discovery of a votive plaque dating to the II century A.D. documents the ancient origins of the country. It belonged to the Principality-Bishop of Trento until the Napoleonic period, governing itself autonomously with the rules contained in the "Charter of Rules". The town was nearly completely destroyed, after the disastrous fire of 1892 and annexed to the Kingdom of Italy after the First World War.
