The Dolomites are the ideal place for an adventure holiday, from the awe inspiring canyons to their distinctive peaks there is so much to do here to keep the average outdoor adventurer busy for days if not weeks!
Madonna di Campiglio sits at 1,522m above sea level in the heart of the Adamello Brenta Natural Park in the Trentino region of Northern Italy. Famous as a chic ski resort where you can enjoy perfectly groomed slopes and Michelin starred restaurants, it is also a fantastic summer destination thanks to its beautiful scenery, and many outdoor/sports facilities and attractions. The nearby river Noce is perfect for both white water rafting and kayaking, while the towering canyons it has carved into the mountainside provide excellent canyoning and tarzaning opportunities. The mountainside provides numerous hiking trails, a selection of mountain huts and an extensive Via Ferrata network - the largest in the Dolomites. The 150 km of marked ski runs known as the Dolomiti di Brenta Ski Area becomes a Bike Area in the summer, and the efficient lift system ensures that mountain bikers can explore the many trails easily. Other activities on offer include golf, tennis, fishing, climbing, and paragliding.
The resort itself is reasonably compact, with a pretty piazza, a few upmarket shops, bars and restaurants and a small lake. During your stay you can enjoy the local Trentino wines and produce, including cheese, game and wild mushrooms. Of course as this is Italy you can also expect to find some good wood-fired pizza too!
This break is ideal for groups, from stag and hen breaks to company incentive/team building trips and we can tailor make an itinerary to suit your needs.
