Trentino on the road
3 minutes
Travelling through Trentino on four wheels is a fantastic experience. You’ll be met by picture postcard landscapes, with lakes and valleys, castles and hermitages, shepherd’s huts and Dolomite peaks. There really is so much to see. You'll only need your car or camper van to reach the recommended destinations, because remember, you can only truly experience nature on foot with a backpack on your shoulders.
We're off!
Val di Non: Lake Tovel, Sanctuary of San Romedio, Castle of Thun
Start your tour by reaching Lake Tovel, where the crystal clear waters are surrounded by the woods of the Brenta Dolomites. It is also known as the Red Lake because in summer, a particular algae colored the waters bright red, an event that has not taken place for several years now. From Lake Tovel, head northwards to Sanzeno. From the Rhaetian Museum of Sanzeno take the path in the rock (remember that the path is closed in winter) and venture along a spectacular itinerary that follows the route of an old irrigation canal to the Sanctuary of San Romedio, a truly unusual destination. Then visit Thun Castle. The sumptuous rooms, starting from the Bishop's Room, still contain the original 16th-century furnishings, works of art, weapons and porcelain objects. It's like going on a journey to savor the atmosphere of the noble families of centuries ago.
Madonna di Campiglio: Tour of the 5 lakes and the Vallesinella Waterfalls
Immersed in the landscapes of the Brenta Dolomites, Madonna di Campiglio is the dream destination for skiers. It is also ideal for those who love trekking, cycling or simply being in contact with nature. Take the cable car from the center of town and tour the 5 lakes: Ritort, Labin, Serodoli, Gelato, Nambino, take beautiful pictures and breathe in the clean air! Visit the Vallesinella Waterfalls, listen to the sound of the water and regenerate your mind, body, and spirit. Take a break at the Tuckett shelter and enjoy the view!
Val di Rabbi: the Tibetan Bridge and the Terme di Rabbi hot springs
Among the excursions available in the Stelvio National Park, you surely won’t want to miss one in the Val di Rabbi, on the Tibetan Bridge, suspended 57 meters high in the silence and in the wonder of the mountains, where you will feel like an eagle in flight!

At Rabbi Fonti, you will find the Terme di Rabbi spa with its mineral water springs that are rich in iron and carbon dioxide. Count on it, you'll return as good as new!
