TRENTINO IS BECOMING MORE ACCESSIBLE

SOUNDS OF THE DOLOMITES 2023 IS FOR EVERYONE 

The Sound of the Dolomites is going beyond borders and is helping those with hearing disabilities experience a selection of concerts taking place across several beautiful landscapes. How? Through “subpacs” (tactile audio systems) that allow people with hearing disabilities to experience the music.

Dates can be found here: 30 August, Malga Brenta Bassa (Madonna di Campiglio area), 8 September, Sagron Mis (Primiero), 7 September, Passo di Lavazè (Val di Fiemme), 19 September, Villa Welsperg (Primiero)

IN THE MOUNTAINS, WITHOUT BARRIERS

A new barrier-free path was opened on 26th May in Madonna di Campiglio, which leads from Patascoss to one of the area’s most enchanting and loved places, Lake Nambino (1,718 m asl), in 45 minutes. The intervention has seen levelling works and minor detours without significantly impacting the route. The path has been brought to a width of about 1.20 m at the narrowest points. Where there are large boulders, impossible to remove without drastically altering the area’s appearance, the project has constructed natural walkways from logs and larch planks over the boulders. In addition, parapets have been placed where the height difference is more pronounced.

BRENTA OPEN: THE INCLUSIVE MOUNTAIN

From 8-9^th July, the region will also host the annual "Brenta Open" at the XII Apostoli refuge in the Dolomiti-Paganella. Alpine guides will lead a group of all-ability hikers to the highest peaks of the Brenta Dolomites for an inclusive and accessible climb. The event welcomes all and has the capabilities to support anyone who may like to join, regardless of ability. Once at the top of the climb, all participants will enjoy a concert from the peaks with the musicians-mountaineers Michele Selva on soprano sax and Michele Pavesi on trumpet. From 9 June to 9 July, Piazza Sissi in Madonna di Campiglio will host an "open-air" exhibition to give voices to those who took on the "Brenta Open" to share their stories.
