Unforgettable mountain views, the fresh smell of the forest, colourful trees and nature, and the Italian ‘dolce vita’ – autumn in the perfect time to go hiking in northern Italy. There are fantastic routes here for every type of hiker: panoramic mountain trails, breathtaking fixed rope routes, idyllic forest paths, and gentle strolls along lakeshores. In the Dolomiti Paganella, you will find the right hike for you.
In this Collection, we’ve put together the 11 most beautiful walks in the Dolomiti Paganella region. On spectacular summit ascents and fixed rope routes you get very close to the rugged rocks and steep peaks of the Brenta Dolomites and the Paganella massif. Enchanting forest paths lead you into tranquil nature whilst pleasant lakeside paths showcase the glistening waters of Lake Molveno. The hikes are crowned by the two Brenta crossings which are guaranteed to make your heart race. With long hours of sunshine, moderate temperatures, empty hiking trails, and spectacular colours, autumn is the perfect season for hiking.
On the way, you can stop off at Italian mountain huts and cosy alpine pastures and enjoy classic cuisine from Trentino. You can try tasty polenta with chanterelles, grilled cheese, juicy game meat or an Alpine char from Lake Molveno. The two towns of Molveno and Andalo, which can be easily reached from Trento, are ideal starting points for walks. Grab your rucksack and your hiking boots and discover the Brenta Dolomites and the Paganella!
