Autumn slow trekking

Middle altitude itineraries among the Pale of Trentino

Enjoy it all! Because the road that brings you to San Martino di Castrozza, crossing through Primiero, is a corridor of dolomite that takes you straight into the heart of the Italian Alps. You skirt lakes and streams, expanses of green and tunnels of stone, but in front of you are the Pale! If you have only seen them in pictures, you really haven’t seen them yet. And all around, enchanted villages that seem to have always been waiting for you, alive in their stillness. Imer, Mezzano, Siror, Transacqua, Tonadico and Fiera. And, facing you, the Dolomiti that give the impression that you are looking into their depths, as in a 3D painting.  

There is a special season, before the white of snow and transforming from the deep green of summer, that colours everything in a thousand and one shades, so brightly coloured! 

In the autumn, you can enter new trails, created especially for the season, and enter mountain huts, which remain open for the occasion, where trekking, even if not on the ridge, remains a blessing! 

Primiero Slow Tour

5 days for 5 hikes, from the bottom of the Primiero valley to 4 middle altitude mountain huts, through woods and meadows to discover the nature, food and alpine culture of this Valley. Providing the backdrop for this journey in stages are the  Pale di San Martino, majestic companions as you walk during this slow autumn trek.  

The Antique Fruit Road

An itinerary suitable for everyone that is also a fun treasure hunt in the discovery of the many fruit trees from ages past along Via Nova, connecting Pieve with Passo Gobbera. Pear, apple, cherry: in this itinerary you will find more than 40 of them catalogued, all indicated on a map, and they are an important testimony to biodiversity and the use that was made of these sun-bathed middle altitude areas in the past.   

Wellness Itineraries 

From valley floor meadows to high mountain trails, there are many ‘open air’ wellness itineraries at the foot of the Pale di San Martino. Water Therapy, Kneipp Path, multi-sensory passages and Barefoot Hiking: a true immersion in a place where time passes slowly to absorb the scent of the earth and experience the harmony of an authentic and inclusive environment with all five senses.  

Primiero Alpine Pearl

Since 2022, the municipality of Primiero San Martino di Castrozza has been part of the “Alpine Pearls” circuit. An Alpine Pearl stands out because it is concretely committed to ensuring conscious holiday experiences that respect the environment, resources and local identities.
