Trekking in the Marocche di Dro: a trip to the moon
Scarpons on the feet and backpack on the shoulder, we leave for an excursion between imposing rocks and resilient vegetation.

Here, between natural bonsai that challenge time and adverse conditions, you walk on a soil that tells millions of years of geological history.

An unmissable trek, which wisely combines nature and prehistory, strongly recommended to anyone who loves walking with a curious gaze, eager for discovery and knowledge.
Nosiola path: between vineyards and historical distillers
A path that smells of history and winemaking tradition. The nosiola path winds through the vines of the Valle dei Laghi, where Nosiola was born, the only autochthonous Trentino grape variety with a white berry. Along the way you will meet the ARèle, the wraps on which the grapes are left to dry to produce the famous Santo Trentino wine, Slow Food garrison.
The walk leads to Santa Massenza, a village famous for the distilleries of Grappa, where it is possible to stop for a tasting before continuing to the romantic Toblin Castle, which is mirrored in the lake and gives life to a fairy tale atmosphere.
Ledro Land Art: the woods becomes a museum
Perfect combination of art and nature, the Ledro Land Art is a path immersed in the pine forest of Pur, in the Ledro Valley. Along the path, the artistic installations made with natural materials dialogue with the surrounding environment, resulting in a sensory experience, which mixes nature and culture. Perfect for families and for anyone who has the desire to walk without haste, letting themselves be surprised by the creativity that is hidden among the trees.
