A walk in the woods to hear the streams flowing, full of energy again after the winter silence. A bike ride to see the meadows regaining their colour. Or a picnic by the lake to share the first sunny days with friends. So many experiences which give you energy. This is what spring in Trentino is all about.

Cycling through flowers and colours
In spring, “La ciclabile dei fiori” cycling path, between Val Rendena and Valle del Chiese, radiates with the colours of the blooms, with over 600 species of flowers. Icing on the cake? The eco-printing activity you can participate in. This is a bike tour, during which there is a workshop to learn how to transfer the natural colours of plants and flowers onto clothes.
Lake sport is sweeter
A bike ride, a walk in the mountains, a stand-up paddleboarding adventure on the surface of the water, and then a panoramic aperitif or a nice dinner overlooking the lake: on Lake Garda the en plein air combines with relaxation and the Mediterranean lifestyle. We call it “Italian Outdoors”. For anyone who visits us, it is simply the best way to experience spring days.
Hike & Bike
A short distance from Trento, on the Altopiano di Piné, you will find the Serraia and Delle Piazze lakes, two bodies of water from which a network of dirt tracks and mountain bike trails branch off, totalling over 200 km of routes. These circuits vary in length and difficulty, passing through breathtaking vantage points and places of cultural and natural interest. Why not try them this spring?
Riding through woods and vineyards
How about a ride through Val di Fiemme or Val di Cembra? Two neighbouring valleys capable of giving you such different views. In Val di Fiemme, you pedal in view of the Latemar Group and among the fir trees of the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Nature Park, while in Val di Cembra you immerse yourself in vineyards and glimpses of rural life.
A bike ride among vineyards and wineries
How about a bike ride past vineyards, villages, streams and rivers, stopping at wineries and distilleries? This is the “Giro del Vino 50” wine trail, an experience on the Piana Rotaliana, home of Teroldego Rotaliano, the prince of Trentino wines.
Rafting in the Val di Sole
Do you want to feel your senses vibrate? Try rafting on the Noce river in the Val di Sole. You’re in one of the cult places to practice this sport, attracting enthusiasts from all over the world every year. National Geographic has even mentioned it among the world’s top ten rivers for rafting.
Street food and street art
Street performers, comic fanfares, circus artists, marching bands and, of course, lots of good food, including street food. We are talking about Arcadia Street Festival in Caldes, in Val di Sole. It is the perfect opportunity to discover one of Italy's most beautiful villages and visit its famous castle.
Fiorinda, the apple blossom festival
It is one of the most eagerly awaited events of spring in Trentino. In April, the Val di Non turns white and pink for this festival that pays homage to the blossoming of the apple trees. Culture, food and wine, fruit growing, experiences and activities that will help you discover everything that makes the Trentino PDO apple valley unique.
Spring in Val Canali
At the foot of the Pale di San Martino mountains is a verdant valley where you stroll through forests, streams and flower-filled meadows. We are talking about Val Canali, one of the most enchanting places in Trentino. Many different activities are planned here to celebrate the awakening of nature, including hikes, tastings and workshops. We look forward to seeing you!
Art in Nature
There is a special place in Trentino where art merges with nature, creating works that seem to be born from the earth. Branches, stones, roots and trunks shaped by major artists from all over the world. We are talking about Arte Sella, the exhibition of contemporary art in nature. An excursion into art, in the heart of Valsugana.
Relax and enjoy the view
Spring is the perfect season to do some outdoor sports to reawaken your muscles after the long winter. Provided, however, that after so much activity, you take a break, perhaps in a warm hot tub with a view of the Italian Alps. Outside, the cool summer air; inside, the warm embrace of the thermal waters. Where? At the QC Terme spa in Val di Fassa, of course!
Mountain biking through forests and mountain villages
Alpe Cimbra is the ideal destination for those who love mountain biking: dirt roads through the woods, wonderful views of the mountains and trails that take you to explore villages and forts from the Great War. There are routes for everyone: from the long and strenuous ones for experienced mountain bikers to the flat ones for those who want to ride with children.
Cycle path with a view
The wind on your face, the scent of the woods as they slip by you and the sight of the Dolomites in the background: taking a ride along the Fiemme and Fassa Dolomites cycle path is an experience that involves all the senses! The route is 47 km long, but you can divide it into several stages... and maybe take a refreshing break at a bike rest stop along the way.
Festival dell’Economia
The appointment is in May in the historic city centre of Trento, with the “Festival dell’Economia” (Economics Festival). Three days of debates, meetings and events featuring experts, thinkers, politicians and an audience of all ages, thanks also to the “FuoriFestival” calendar of fringe initiatives aimed at young people and families.
