Brentonico Plateau
The Flowers of Baldo
The
Brentonico Plateau (500 m – 2079 m), on the northern slopes of
Monte Baldo, is known by naturalists all over Europe for its wealth of rare flowers and plants.
Enjoy an exploration day in the
Parco dei Fiori (Park of Flowers) on Monte Baldo, visiting the
Bés-Corna Piana nature reserve: 150 hectares of protected land, inhabited by endemic species that survived the glaciations.
In Brentonico the
Palazzo Eccheli Baisi botanic garden is home to 500 species from Baldo and the Alps. Get stuck into the extensive network of paths for
trekking and mountain biking, which connect villages and ‘malghe’ (shepherd’s huts), ‘baite’ (huts) and shelters. From here you can admire
spectacular views over Garda and the Valle dell’Adige.
A large range of sports facilities, gyms and swimming pools invites you to practice your favourite sport, from tennis to football, bowling to climbing. The Polsa Adventure Park awaits big and small alike for lively routes with ropes, ladders and Tibetan bridges – think Tarzan meets Indiana Jones. This is only one of the countless opportunities that the area offers for an active holiday.
In winter modern lifts take you up to the sunny slopes (link ski map) of
Polsa and San Valentino, 35 km of them.
One
of the biggest snow parks in Trentino is on hand while
San Giocomo is the place for cross-country skiing. The stations are linked by
ski-bus to the slopes of Prà Alpesina, on the Verona side of Monte Baldo, where you can enjoy a
splendid view of the lake whilst skiing.
Sledging, ice skating, ski touring and snowshoeing complete the attractions of a holiday in the snow offered by the first winter station met when approaching Trentino from the plains.
