Discover Trentino’s great outdoors this summer
Whether it’s hiking, cycling, mountain adventurers or a deep dive into nature, Trentino is becoming the go-to holiday spot. This summer promises not only the reopening of mountain huts from 20 June, but also two standout events: the Free Outdoor Weeks in Madonna di Campiglio and the iconic Marcialonga Running Coop through Val di Fiemme and Val di Fassa.
Val di Sole: High-Alpine Hut-to-Hut Treks
With around 140 mountain huts connected by a vast network of 5,800 kilometers of trails, Trentino offers ideal conditions for alpine trekking. One of the best ways to fully experience the magic of these huts is by embarking on a multi-day hut-to-hut tour in Val di Sole. A six-day route through the Stelvio National Park leads through varied landscapes such as Val di Rabbi, Val di Pejo, and Val Martello, featuring meadows, streams, pristine lakes and snow-covered glaciers. Another six-stage tour in the Ortler-Cevedale region includes daily ascents to peaks over 3,000 meters, using ropes and crampons, along historic paths once marking the border between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. High-alpine terrain also awaits on a three-day trek through the Adamello Presanella region, with breathtaking views of the Mandrone Glacier - the largest in the Italian Alps.
Madonna di Campiglio: One Pass, Countless Experiences
The Free Outdoor Weeks mark the beginning and end of the summer season in Madonna di Campiglio. From 19 June to 4 July and from 1 to 21 September 2025, guests can take advantage of the Dolomeet PASSion Card, which offers a wide range of outdoor activities. The card includes free use of the cable cars (up to two rides per day), guided e-bike tours, climbing and canyoning adventures. Those looking for something more relaxed can enjoy fishing or special sunset events, which includes sampling local specialties, giving visitors a taste of Trentino.
For music lovers, the Mountain Beat Festival (21–29 June in Pinzolo) combines Italian music performances with local nature and traditions. September sees the return of I Suoni delle Dolomiti (The Sounds of the Dolomites), celebrating its 30th anniversary from 27 August to 4 October. Highlights include a musical trek from 12 to 14 September, ending with a concert at the Brentei mountain hut and a special performance at Malga Brenta Bassa on 18 September.
Marcialonga Running Coop: A Run Through Two Valleys
On 6 September 2025, Val di Fassa and Val di Fiemme will once again host one of Italy’s premier running events: the Marcialonga Running Coop. Participants can choose between two routes: the classic 26-kilometer course from Moena to Cavalese, or a 21-kilometer half marathon ending in Masi di Cavalese. Both follow the historic Marcialonga cross-country skiing trail, passing iconic spots like Predazzo, Ziano, the Stalimen ski jumping stadium and the Lago di Tesero cross-country centre.
Teams can register for the relay category with three runners, with part of the entry fee supporting charitable causes. The festive atmosphere is rounded out by an Expo Village, children’s entertainment, DJ sets, and a lively pasta party.
