Alpe Cimbra: the Far North close to home

Vast plateaus, snow-covered landscapes, living, breathing nature 

A natural environment that is easy to explore, full of awe-inspiring landscapes, with snow covering the gentle slopes where cross-country ski trails of varying difficulty wind their way, and you can find countless well-trodden paths for walking or snowshoeing

Alpe Cimbra is the perfect place to combine nature, outdoor activities and wellness, along with relaxing days with your family. 

Plateaus to explore on cross-country ski trails that are always bathed in sunshine. In the two cross-country ski centres, at the Coe Pass near Folgaria and in Lavarone Millegrobbe, you can hire everything you need or learn the secrets of this sport from the ski instructors. 
The trails are well kept and offer charming day trips on narrow skis, gliding over hills that alternate between meadows and woods, dotted with remains from the First World War.

If you prefer walking or snowshoeing, you can take advantage of the guided tours offered every week, during the day, at dawn, or even at night. A classic is the
Monte Maggio route, which has beautiful views and is not very difficult. Here, from January, you can experience a snowshoe trip at dawn, with a lavish breakfast at the end.
Instead, if you are looking for a different experience,
try a fatbike on signposted trails, or accompanied by expert guides: a new way to experience the snow, but always in harmony with nature.

Like spirit guides watching over the Plateaus, after a short walk you can see the huge sculptures created by Marco Martalar with wood recovered after the great storm Vaia, in 2018: in Millegrobbe you can find the Vaia Stag, and above the town of Lavarone is the majestic Vaia Dragon, which has recently risen from the ashes. 

 For those with children in tow, there are easy walking trails designed to accommodate pushchairs. Known as baby trekking, this is a wonderful way to spend time together in nature.  

But after all these activities, you need some relaxation. Some facilities don't just offer a wellness centre, but real sensory experiences.  

Such as walking barefoot in the snow at Malga Millegrobbe Farmstead, which also offers the Milegruam Wellness Centre, with a view over the cross-country ski trails and a packed programme of activities to enjoy with the Aufgussmeister: fragrances, stories and music to enrich your sauna experience. Instead, near Folgaria, wellness and elegant environments are waiting for you at the Essenza Alpina Campground, which is also open to outside guests: Aufguss in a wellness centre with a view of the woods.
