Multi-activity family adventure near Lake Garda

An outdoor family adventure is a great way to create unforgettable memories with the kids and learn about nature, teamwork, and facing fears, all while having fun! On this 4-day program, I have designed a flexible itinerary for families to enjoy via ferrata, rock climbing, and hiking near Lake Garda!

The flexible itinerary that I propose will allow us to tailor the adventure to suit your family’s preferences and needs. Some of the activities may be optional so that if someone is tired they can stay at the hut while the rest participate. Furthermore, going with a guide will allow you to join in on the fun instead of having to worry about safety and logistics.

The via ferratas we can visit on this program include: 

• Rio Sallogoni ferrata: this charming ferrata route that ends in the magnificent Castle of Drena includes passing through a beautiful canyon with little waterfalls and a mystic gorge that leads to a Tibetan cable bridge.

• Via ferrata Cima Capi: an easy-going ferrata that everyone can enjoy with an optional add on to visit some WWI tunnels. 

• Via ferrata Colodri: this renowned ferrata goes up the well known Arco rock walls to the top of Mt. Colodri and is ideal for beginners and families. Once at the top you will be surprised by the amazing views overlooking Lake Garda. The descent goes through olive groves and passes an old Way of the Cross.

We can also choose to hike from Le Viote del Bondone to Monte Stivo. The “Ridge Trail” is another hiking trail we can explore. It starts from Pregasina, just above Riva del Garda, and boasts stunning views of the lake.  And, for those that like a little bit more of a challenge, we can head to the Smugglers trail (sentiero dei contrabbandieri), a suspended and amazing ledge that overlooks the lake. Furthermore, there are several rock climbing spots we will visit where we will learn all about safety, knots, rappelling, and climbing techniques. You can find a tentative itinerary below. To get an idea of what it would be like, you can read about one family’s experience on a similar multi-adventure program in the Dolomites.  

If the weather is bad, we can go to the natural science museum in Trento (40 minutes from Riva del Garda) and go climbing in the climbing hall nearby Sambapolis in the afternoon. Another option is to head to Lake Ledro and visit the village and museum there, a unique place to learn about the history of human settlement in the Ledro valley.

Keep in mind that all levels are welcome, as are young children. If you have any doubts, please don’t hesitate to contact me about them. In terms of accommodation, during the summer months, when the huts are open, the ideal scenario is to stay one night at a mountain hut and the rest of the time in the valley. I recommend the following agriturismos:

•  La Cort

• Maso Lizzone

• La Terra
