Rovereto Open

Wandering through the streets of Rovereto, the heart of the Etschtal, is a journey through time and culture that takes you through historical eras and artistic currents. There is a free audio guide for the visually impaired accessible online or via app.

To explore the city, you can choose from several accessible urban hikes. Click on the links to discover the itineraries:

• From palace to palace
• The kilometre of wonders
• Art Nouveau in Rovereto
• Among St Mark’s sepulchres
• A village between two giants

Experiencing an area also means participating in its events.

The Oriente Occidente Dance Festival is accessible to people with physical, sensory and cognitive disabilities. It provides audio-tactile subpacs, audio-descriptions of performances, reserved seats for persons with reduced mobility and wheelchair users, sensory decompression spaces and simplified language kits. This year’s festival runs from 30 August to 7 September. Here you can find all the information and contacts to organise your visit.

Outdoor options are also open to everyone. 

In Lagarina Valley, you can find no-barrier paths that will take you past villages, vineyards, sunny meadows and panoramic viewpoints. Or, if you come to Trentino in September, you can take part in the San Rocco trail, a hike accessible to blind and visually impaired people.   

For winter sports enthusiasts, the Monte Baldo Ski School provides a dualski shell for people with motor disabilities and lessons by specialised instructors. Classes must be booked in advance: you can find information and contact details here. 

The inclusive experiences in this area of Trentino include some involving the senses:

• The Oasis of the Senses at Palazzo Baisi on the Brentonico Plateau, in the heart of the Baldo Park, offers an experiential path where visitors can discover nature through touch, smell and hearing
• or you can try the “Vivallis Blind” tasting to learn about wines, guided by taste and smell

There are therefore many opportunities to discover the area, partly thanks to the organisations that work every day to make it more accessible. These include the Informatici senza frontiere, whose work improves the lives of disabled people.
