Trentino is a natural playground for sports enthusiasts. With its diverse landscapes, it’s the ideal destination for outdoor activities. Mountain biking is hugely popular, with numerous trails catering to all levels of expertise. For water sports lovers, the region’s lakes offer activities such as paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, and sailing. The crystal-clear waters and picturesque settings make for an unforgettable experience.
Enjoying the lakes and nature
Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy, is a hotspot for sailing and windsurfing. But there is also Lake Tovel, which is more tranquil and known for its stunning turquoise waters. Additionally, 12 Trentino’s beaches have been awarded the “Blue Flag” for their cleanliness and facilities.
The location provides unique methods to relax, such as “forest bathing,” which involves immersing yourself in the ambiance of the forests. Among the health activities available are barefoot walks, Kneipp hydrotherapy paths in fresh mountain streams, and yoga sessions with amazing views of the Dolomites.
Cultural treasures: museums, castles, and villages
Trentino has a rich historical and cultural heritage. This year, the Castello del Buonconsiglio Museum commemorates its centenary with a shaman-themed exhibition produced by Muse, Mart, and Mets. The Mart Museum in Rovereto provides a glimpse into the fascist regime’s effect on the arts. Then, the “Castle Train” from Trento takes visitors on a panoramic tour to discover some of the region’s most spectacular castles in the Val di Sole and Val di Non.
Summer in Trentino and the flavors of mountain pastures
Tourists who visit the mountain pastures can see traditional cheesemaking and other dairy product methods firsthand. The day begins with the farmers; guests can then participate in the milking process and enjoy a hearty breakfast. Throughout the summer, various events allow visitors to taste and learn about these artisanal products, offering a delicious insight into the region’s culinary traditions.
