It’s mountain flowering time
Trentino spring is colored with thousands of wild flowers: a true hymn to life
Spring is here and two unmistakable signs get us emotional about it: the chirping of songbirds and the colourful patches of blossom across our valleys and mountains. This is the season when the alpine pastures in Trentino are covered in carpets of wild flowers blossoming at different times and altitudes.
So, let’s say goodbye to the cold, gloomy winter and let’s find hope in the sunny days of Spring. Maybe enjoying, even if only virtually, the wild flowering of Trentino.
