In Summer the players of the most important italian football clubs usually spend their holiday in this village, while in winter a lot of skiaer are attracted by the slopes of the Group of Catinaccio. In Vigo you can find two churches (the one of S. Giovanni and the one of S. Giuliana, that can be reached through a path from the center of the village), chemist, doctor, library, bank, a wonderful minigolf, the modern cableway of Ciampedie, a sport center and the main seat of the Museum Ladin de Fascia. The main street connects Vigo with Costalunga Pass and Carezza Lake: this is a very important line of communication between the areas of Trento and Bolzano.

THE HAMLETS

TAMION 

1548m  

Tamion is a little village that can be reached by car through the street of Costalunga Pass. It's very nice, it's the classical village not reached from tourism yet; the little church deserves a brief tour.

COSTALUNGA PASS

 1745m 

Costalunga Pass is a very important ski resort, between Latemar and Roda de Vael, that connects the zones of Trento and Bolzano, two areas very different from a cultural point of view. Not far from the Pass, in the village of Nova Levante/Welschnofen, you can find the wonderful Lago di Carezza, in whose water the huge peaks of Latemar are reflected.
