Culture
Museums
Temù hosts the Museo della Guerra Bianca in Adamello (Museum of the White War in Adamello).
Economy
Tourism
Nowadays, despite the presence of beautiful natural resources which could attract tourists, the economy of Temù is based on the residential construction (secondary houses and residence) in relation to the activity of the ski area of Adamello Ski.
In summer tourism is underestimated compared to its richness in natural resources and local traditions, whereas the exploitation of the territory is excessive is winter due to winter sports, for example skiing. This is the main reason why the jobs are mostly seasonal.
