What to do in Cortina d'Ampezzo: the 20 best experiences

Horseback riding in Val Gardena from Selva will allow you to immerse yourself in the picturesque nature of the Dolomites in Trentino.

The excursion is suitable for everyone, even beginners. Upon your arrival there will be a short riding lesson in the riding stables to learn how to ride and then leave with the 1-hour walk.

The scenic route takes you through the green forests of Val Gardena until you reach the World Cup ski slope and then back to the riding stables.

Appropriate clothing with long pants and closed shoes is required to participate in the walks.

Are you ready to savor, accompanied by Alpine Guides, the unique atmosphere that the meeting of snow, mountains and the darkness of the night manages to generate? Snowshoeing is suitable for everyone who also wants to experience winter by moonlight, from those who are looking for a nighttime adventure to those who are looking for a good plate of dumplings in a hut in Val di Fassa.

The activity includes ascent by snowmobile/snowcat, followed by an atmospheric night snowshoeing with headlamps followed by dinner at a mountain hut where you can enjoy typical Trentino dishes with a sled or snowmobile ride depending on the possibilities. Itineraries vary each week. The sledding descent is optional and not provided for all itineraries.

Hiking boots or after-ski boots are required for all snowshoeing in the Fassa Valley and it is recommended to bring a backpack with a wind/rain jacket, water bottle and snacks.

Be prepared for a cabin dinner experience with snowmobile transport and night snowshoeing in the Fassa Valley and enjoy a fantastic night in the snow and fairy tale landscapes of Trentino.

If you are not equipped, you can rent snowshoes directly by contacting the lodge.
