The municipality of Malé contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Magras, Arnago, Bolentina, Montes, Pondasio and Molini.

Malé borders the following municipalities: Rabbi, Terzolas, Croviana and Dimaro Folgarida.

The economy of Malé is based mainly on tourism, handcraft (typically wooden products), and farming (typically producing apples, cheese and cold cuts). The Trento-Malè-Marilleva railway connects the comune to Trento.

Near Malè is the Stelvio National Park, the biggest natural National Park in Italy and the Brenta group a UNESCO World heritage site.
