Mountain sports: high-altitude thrills

Trekking and hiking: freedom, one step at a time

Walking in the mountains is more than just a sport — it’s an inner journey and a challenge against yourself. Forget crowded tourist destinations and set your sights on trails surrounded by unspoilt wilderness.

Unmissable routes for true explorers

The Dolomites offer trails straight out of a postcard, such as the Tre Cime di Lavaredo loop, a spectacular route that’s accessible to many yet rewards every step with breathtaking views. If you prefer something wilder, the Adamello Brenta Natural Park offers paths through pristine alpine landscapes dotted with glacial lakes and towering peaks.

In Switzerland, the Engadin valleys offer peaceful routes through forests and alpine meadows, far from the bustle of ski resorts — the perfect place to experience the true essence of the mountains, without filters.

The right gear makes all the difference

You don’t need to be a mountaineering expert, but good preparation is key. A lightweight yet well-equipped backpack, sturdy hiking boots and layered clothing can mean the difference between an epic trek and a day you’d rather forget.

Climbing and via ferratas: the vertical challenge

The mountains are all about verticality, and climbing is the purest expression of that spirit. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, there are routes that will make you feel like a real explorer.

Where to put your skills to the test

If you’re new to climbing, the via ferratas of the Dolomites offer the perfect mix of adrenaline and safety. The Ferrata degli Alpini in the Friulian Dolomites is a must-try, featuring suspended bridges and dramatic cliffs.

For more experienced climbers, the cliffs around Lake Garda are a natural open-air gym, with routes ranging from easy to extreme. In Switzerland, the Grisons region (Graubünden) offers vertical walls that challenge even the most seasoned climbers.

Skiing and snowboarding: powder and freedom

If winter is your favourite season, the mountains turn into a white paradise where you can glide through forests and down perfect slopes.

The best ski areas for every level

From the panoramic slopes of Alta Badia, perfect for wide, fast turns, to the technical runs of Val Gardena, every skier will find their challenge here. If you’re after something quieter and more authentic, head to Passo San Pellegrino — a hidden gem with stunning views and fewer crowds.

For freeride enthusiasts, Monte Rosa offers spectacular descents through fresh powder, combining breathtaking scenery with pure joy.

Extreme sports: adrenaline and adventure

If you’re ready to push your limits, the mountains offer sports that will test both your courage and your adventurous spirit.

Paragliding, speed riding and beyond

Soaring above the peaks while paragliding over the Dolomites is an experience that will completely change your perspective of the mountains. For an extra rush of adrenaline, try speed riding — a thrilling mix of skiing and flying that delivers pure energy.

If you’re after something wilder, go for canyoning in the hidden gorges of Trentino: sliding down waterfalls and jumping into natural pools is the perfect blend of technique and fun.

Glamping: luxury meets the mountains

After intense days of sport and adventure, glamping is the perfect choice for those who want to unwind without giving up the beauty of nature.

Authentic experiences and total comfort

Forget the typical tent: here we’re talking about lodges nestled in forests, geodesic domes with panoramic views of the peaks and wooden eco-cabins equipped with every comfort. Waking up to mountain views, sipping a hot coffee surrounded by silence and falling asleep under star-filled skies — glamping is an experience everyone should try at least once.

Whether you want to climb, ski or simply walk, the mountains are waiting for you — full of timeless beauty and new challenges. Pack your backpack, choose your adventure and experience the mountains like never before!
