Pejo

Pejo is a valley and ski resort area in northern Italy, located in the autonomous province of Trento within the municipality of Peio in the Val di Sole. It lies near the Stelvio National Park and is part of the alpine landscape that characterizes the region. The valley runs roughly from east to west and includes settlements such as Peio Fonti and Cogolo.

The Pejo area is known for its high-altitude terrain and the Pejo 3000 ski area, which offers a range of winter slopes and lift services. In summer, the region attracts hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts who explore the surrounding mountains, meadows, and forests. The valley’s natural setting is marked by rugged peaks, glacial features, and rich biodiversity typical of the Alpine environment.

Pejo Fonti is notable for its thermal springs and spa facilities, which have attracted visitors for wellness and therapeutic purposes for many decades. Tourism is the primary economic activity in the valley, supplemented by seasonal services, accommodations, and local crafts. The area preserves traditional Alpine culture, with dialectal influences and family-run enterprises that reflect its rural heritage.

Access to Pejo is provided by regional road connections from the Val di Sole, with public transport and local shuttle services during the winter tourism season. The valley’s proximity to other northern Italian ski areas and passes facilitates connections to neighboring valleys and resorts. Historical settlement patterns in Pejo reflect a long-standing adaptation to high-mountain living and, in modern times, a shift toward tourism and outdoor recreation.
