WINTER To the pistes

140 km of slopes of all levels on the Folgarida-Marilleva-Campiglio circuit. More pistes are to be found in Val di Pejo and at the Tonale Glacier. Ski schools specialize in children's groups and beginners with their own slopes and snow games. There are pistes for snowboarding and sledging, too, cross-country skiing tracks of international fame, there is also open air ice skating and ice hockey. There are countless trails for those wishing to leave "civilization" behind and be at one with nature, whether on foot, horseback or in horse drawn sleighs you can witness the white wonder of winter in the valley. Something to remember for ever. Before the apres ski life starts up you can relax in a Swedish sauna, dive into the pool or treat yourself to a health programme at the Spas of Rabbi and Pejo.

SPRING Verdant Valleys

The vibrantly verdant valley floor and the woodland flora are a stark contrast to the white-capped peaks all around, a sight which delights us locals too. The ideal setting to drink in the vigour of new life springing forth, leaving dreary winter worries behind, or to simply relax away from it all.
A car ride to visit all the mountain passes in the area, a day trip to the provincial capital of Trento or Tyrolean township of Merano, or an excursion to the Castles and Sanctuaries of the nearby Val di Non, where the apple trees, like those of the Val di Sole, are in full blossom, are but a few itineraries to be enjoyed.
And for gourmands there are the numerous restaurants serving local specialities made from local produce.

SUMMER Something for everyone

There are a myriad of things to do and excursions to go on, from unforgettable mountain adventures up fearsome rock faces with expert Alpine Guides to less challenging treks up to mountain tarns, lakes, refuges, bivouacs, waterfalls. For the well equipped put on your harnesses to go along paths with wires or your crampons to cross the glaciers. There are mountain bike trails from highly challenging for the super fit to a gentler peddle along the 40 km cycle path which follows the river Noce, famous for its white waters famous for rafting, canoeing and hydrospeed. Indeed adventurous water lovers should try the Extreme Waves Adventure. Other activities to be enjoyed include archery, mini-golf, fishing, horse-riding, boules, climbing gym, summer skiing on the Presena Glacier. Special guided children's excursions to experience the flora and fauna of the National parks guarantee an enthusiastic discovery of nature and of new friends. There are several country fairs during the season and open-air shows and concerts are held in the squares of many villages in the valley. Several pubs and discos have live entertainment in the evenings.

AUTUMN A kaleidoscope of colour and basket of fruit.

As the valley changes colour this is the ideal time to snap a few shots of the fauna as they prepare for the winter, to go gathering mushrooms, chestnuts and hazelnuts. There are also our delicious "Melinda" apples, picked from the tress in the lower valley. Why not take some home with some butter made with the milk of mountain pastures, or some of the renowned Trentino Grana cheese? Why not visit one of our local cheese producers, or the "MondoMelinda" establishment in Val di Non, or catch the Trento-Malè, the local small-gauge train, to go and taste some of the local wines at the "Cittadella del Vino" (Wine Town) and the "LaVis" wineries in Mezzocorona and Piana Rotoliana. And why not enjoy some roast chestnuts with some newly decanted wine or strudel and mulled wine, at home with us in front of the open fire!
