What to Do in Trentino with Kids in Winter: Snow Fun Without Skiing
Plenty of experiences to enjoy in the snow and nature
Planning a winter holiday in Trentino with children is much more than just a snowy getaway — it’s a chance to enjoy authentic experiences in close contact with nature. Sledding, snowshoeing, meeting animals, hands-on workshops at educational farms, and walks through snowy forests turn every moment into a discovery for the little ones.
Whether it’s building a snowman, exploring a medieval castle, or sipping hot chocolate in a mountain hut, winter in Trentino offers simple, unforgettable moments — far from the crowds, close to what truly matters.
If you are looking for an original experience in winter, in Trentino there are lots of options. Here are some suggestions!
Exploring art and nature
Spend a morning or afternoon visiting Arte Sella, which is less than half an hour from Borgo Valsugana by car. Art and nature come together to create living works that you can see, touch… and even enter in some cases! There is no better way to venture into the world of art.
The Biblioigloo
Instead of bookworms, in Paganella you might find “snow worms”! The area is home to a breathtaking dome-shaped library called the Biblioigloo. It is located on the Prati di Gaggia ski slopes, which are easy to reach in the Laghet-Gaggia cable car. In addition to books, newspapers and magazines, in the magical bubble 1333 m above sea level there are also workshops and a comfy corner for little ones
Everyone aboard the sled!
Just above the village of Madonna di Campiglio, an outing with the sled dogs is a trip that will create some of the most beautiful memories of your holiday: 4 km of trails on the Nambino plain, gliding through the snow pulled by Alaskan huskies. It’s an experience for all ages!
Winter Park
Discover the winter delights in Altopiano di Piné, which is heaven for snow lovers. There is something to suit all tastes at Winter Park Pradis-ci, near Lake Piazze, including tobogganing, skiing, snow tubing and sledding. Try out new sports thanks to the park's selection of courses for the whole family and its handy ski lifts and conveyor belts!
Everyone at the park
Cermislandia, Bip Club, the Kingdom of Dragons and the Gnomes’ Den: four snow parks, four spaces where you can play, run at breakneck speed, jump and take your first steps in the snow! In Val di Fiemme, children have great fun while mum and dad ski or relax in the sun!
