Summer fun

During the summer months you will never be short of anywhere to have an energetic walk.  Leave the apartment and take the gondola lift to the top, breath in the fresh mountain air and wander down to the Rifugio for a lazy lunch with a glass of wine in the summer sun before continuing on your way down to the apartment or take the gondola back.

If walking is not for you then try the mountain bike trails around the Dolomite hillside. There are some wonderful and exciting tracks made through the woods with jumps and bridges over the streams.

Alternatively, hire a bike or stroll down to Lake Molveno and relax on the beach, take out a pedalo, play basket or beach volley ball then dive into the fresh water lake to cool off.

Lake Molveno

Molveno is an excellent starting-point for local walks into the surrounding parks and mountains. A cableway is located in the town centre which will take you directly to the Pradel Plateau (1400 m), where numerous paths and fixed-rope routes begin. One of the most famous trails in the area is the Sentiero delle Bocchette, which attracts thousands of tourists every year.

Molveno is the ideal place if you are looking for a sporty area by the beach with its tennis courts, Olympic-size pool, archery facility, bowls green, mountain-bike paths, hang gliding launch pad, roller-skating rink, mini golf, football and volleyball pitches, sailing, windsurfing, fishing opportunities and a rock-climbing gym,  The Forest Park adventure trails on the Pradel Plateau are great fun for everyone.

If you would rather spend some time relaxing  with a glass of wine, you can enjoy peaceful boat trips and long walks on the banks of Lake Molveno and across the sorrounding maple, cornel, hazel and birch woods. Special mention goes to the tiny Gothic Church of San Vigilio and the ancient “rassica” Taialacqua sawmill, which dates back to the 16th century.
