When nature awakens

when nature awakens

Finally...it'spring!

When the snow on the mountaintops slowly begins to melt, the water in the streams starts flowing vigorously again, the larches and spruces populating the dense forests start filling with vibrant green needles, while the apple orchards are tinged with a delicate pink, it means that spring has finally arrived!

Put on your hiking shoes and admire the spectacle of the blooming apple orchards in the lower Val di Sole, hop on your bike and ride along the cycle path that crosses the valley, or embark on a raft and navigate the Noce River, skillfully maneuvering through its sparkling waters.

Let yourself be enchanted by the awakening of nature, we'll take care of the rest.
