In the moonlight

From December to February – Campiglio

 Like in fairy tales when magic arrives...! An evening forest hike in the Adamello Brenta Park in the company of a mountain guide under the gleaming stars. Destination, the snowy meadows of Ritorto. And then a snack around the fire while listening to poems and stories inspired by the moon. 

Sunsets and Full Moons

From December to March - Vallagarina

On full moon nights, the red snow at sunset lights up and shines. It helps you mark the path of your snowshoeing adventure, in the company of an expert mountain guide and enjoy a dinner in an Alpine hut overlooking Vallagarina. Choose the date and book your experience!

Breakfast at dawn on Monte Maggio

January and February – Alpe Cimbra

 Reaching the top at the first light of dawn in the silence of an immaculate mountain might prove addictive, despite every early rise! And if the prize of a mouth-watering breakfast with typical, sweet and savoury local products awaits you, you have no excuse not to set your alarm clock for it!

Aperitif on a snowmobile

From December to March – San Martino di Castrozza

 When the Peaks lights up with the reflected light of the moon called the Enrosadira, climb aboard a snowmobile with the one you love to reach the forest of Malga Frattazza illuminated by torches and, above all, by the moon! An aperitif awaits you served directly on the snow. Surrender to the experience because we'll take care of the driver!

Moonlight dinners

From December to March – Paganella

 If a dinner in a shelter in the moonlight or under the starlight when the air is at least as crisp as the white snow is an experience you miss, here are many opportunities to put the icing on the cake on your holiday! This could be the perfect dinner, to be conquered on snowshoes or aboard a snowcat. 

Picnic on the sleigh in the moonlight

From December to February – Alpe Cimbra

The fresh, soft snow in the evening, no artificial light to distract your eyes from the glow of the moon, the silence of the Alpe and then a picnic basket laden with delicious local delicacies. No skis or snowshoes. Let's go riding a sleigh!
