Adige Valley

To the east of the Brenta group, the Etschgebirge, the northern part of which is called Nonsberger Alps, with the Monte Roén (Mendelgebirge, 2,116m/6,983ft) being part of this, falls down in sheer limestone walls to the morainic uplands on the upper Adige in the north and the wide Adige valley, covered with later fluvial deposits.
