The joys of geocaching
Geocaching is like high-tech treasure hunting. Instead of a traditional map, in the Parco Fluviale della Sarca you can use an app to seek out 47 places of natural and cultural interest. Each one has its own QR Code, which you can scan to collect precious points and try to win prizes such as overnight stays, tasting sessions and local products from farms in the area.

See everything from terraced vineyards to shepherd’s huts in the Rete di Riserve Val di Cembra-Avisio
Val di Cembra is a peaceful, secluded part of Trentino. The villages are perched on hillside terraces and they are often surrounded by picturesque vineyards. They are nestled up there because the Avisio River winds its way through narrow gaps between rocks, steep hills and gorges.
It’s tough work exploring the mountain landscape in the area, but it’s a wonderful way to get a genuine taste of the atmosphere in the tightly packed villages full of sturdy old houses and covered passageways known as “porteghi”. There is an educational trail in the nearby woods with five interactive installations that offer stimulating multisensory experiences featuring sounds, smells, colours and reflections.
