Have fun! You are on the Alpe Cimbra

On Lake Lavarone 

On sunny spring days, treat your little ones to a picnic on the meadows of the Lake Lavarone. All you need is a blanket and a few sandwiches stuffed with local cheeses and cold cuts. And for grown-ups, pair your lunch with a nice local beer from Birrificio Barbaforte.   

Parco Palù 

Just a short distance away from the Lake Lavarone, Parco Palù (Palù Park) is a natural oasis, with slides, swings, towers and adventure trails. There is also a nice pond. The tracks that connect the different parts of the park are stroller- and bike-friendly. 

But the real attraction at Parco di Palù is the Khlokkn Spil. It’s a huge wooden flipper, where the ball runs along a 50-meter path, making fun sounds when it hits the different walls and obstacles.  

Drago di Vaia

And since you are on the Alpe Cimbra, you simply must visit the Drago di Vaia (Vaia’s Dragon). This sculpture by artist Marco Martalar holds two stories. The first is about the Vaia Storm that hit Trentino, uprooting thousands of trees. Out of those pieces of wood, the artist created a strong, massive Dragon, as a symbol of rebirth. Unfortunately, in the summer of 2023, someone burned down the Drago.  

But there is another story, about the will of the local community and of Martalar, who did not give up. Thanks to a fund-raising and the support of many people, the Drago di Vaia has risen again, stronger than before. 

To reach the Drago di Vaia Regeneration, try the Sentiero del Drago, an easy, flat trail that starts in Gionghi.
