Make a winter discovery in the dolomites

On the edge of the Brenta Dolomites, high above the beautiful Renaissance town of Trento, lies Monte Bondone, an awe inspiring landscape of silver birch forest, rocky peaks and frozen rivers.

This is the perfect base for snowy activities. Nordic walk onto the plateau of Viote with spectacular views of the three peaks of Cima Verde, Dos d'Abramo and Cornetto, then learn how to cross country ski through the trees and visit Cantine Ferrari one of the best producers in the world of spumante, the local sparkling wine! With snowshoeing and night time walks, as well as historical architecture and stunning views, there is plenty to explore.
