Sagron Mis is a small town in the province of Trento, set at the border of the Trentino-Alto Adige region, along the river Mis, on the eastern side of Pale di San Martino. It is composed by two villages, Sagron and Mis, located in a valley between Passo Cereda and Agordino.
The town has recent origins, because the area was entirely covered by woods until the XVI century; after the felling of the trees, a small village was created whose inhabitants were mostly shepherds. The economy of the town changed after the discovery of mines of gold, mercury and cinnabar.
It is set between two protected areas: the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino natural park and the National Park of the Belluno Dolomites, enjoying both a wonderful view and the winter sports at the nearby San Martino di Castrozza-Passo Rolle ski area.
