Val di Peio, nestled between the Brenta Dolomites and the Stelvio National Park, is one of the ideal destinations if you are looking for a weekend in the snow in Trentino, far from the hustle and bustle. Less crowded than the other valleys of the Dolomites, it is perfect for a snowshoeing holiday among authentic alpine landscapes, silent woods, and snow-covered trails even in the milder seasons.
If you are wondering where to spend a weekend in Trentino, here you will find perfect itineraries for your Easter holidays and for 3-4 days in March. Accompanied by an expert local guide, you will discover traces of wild animals, centuries-old fir trees, and picture-postcard views. After your excursions, a comfortable 3-star superior hotel with a wellness center awaits you, ideal for relaxing and rejuvenating between walks.
Sustainable tip: travel by public transport or park your car at the hotel and forget about it! We have set up a van service that allows you to share transportation to and from the planned excursions with other participants: remember to book it in advance.
5 days and 4 nights for Epiphany, 4 days and 3 nights in all other cases
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Program
First day
Our three days in the Stelvio National Park begin with the whole group meeting up at the hotel in Val di Pejo. Those who arrive early can relax in the wellness center while waiting to have dinner together and chat about the planned excursions. Over the next few days, we will be exploring the best snowshoeing trails in Val di Peio, enjoying guided excursions in the snow, incredible alpine views, and sampling some delicious local dishes.
Second day
the first guided excursion on the snow starts from Celentino, a small village at the entrance to the Val di Peio. WeWe will climb along a forest road through coniferous woods and snow-covered pastures that will lead us to the natural balcony of Malga Campo, at an altitude of 2000 meters. From here, the view stretches over Monte Orles, the Brenta Dolomites, and the Cevedale group, amply rewarding the energy expended to reach it. Once back at the hotel, we can relax in the wellness center or go for a walk to visit the historic center of Cogolo di Pejo and enjoy an aperitif in good company.

Today we have an unforgettable excursion ahead of us, between 1,500 and 1,800 meters above sea level, which will take us walking on the snow through meadows and alpine pastures to Malga Stabli, where we will stop for a typical Trentino lunch. In the afternoon, we will continue climbing up to Malga Bronzolo to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Val di Sole and the Monte Brenta mountain range. As we walk, we will hear only the sound of the snow crunching under our feet and the silence of the forest. Could a winter outdoor vacation offer us a greater thrill than this? We will return to the hotel by shared transfer, adding an element of sustainability to our vacation in Trentino.

After a delicious breakfast featuring sweet and savory items, our local guide will take us snowshoeing along little-known trails in the Val di Pejo to a panoramic overlook that takes in the entire valley below and the village of Pejo Paese. Let’s make this vacation in Trentino even more authentic by stopping at a farmhouse to recharge our energy and, above all, stock up on cheesesfrom the historic Turnario dairy, the last one still in operation in all of Trentino.
For 3-night weekends, we’re scheduled to return by 4:00 p.m.—one last goodbye, and see you on the next snowshoe hike!
For the Epiphany and Easter holidays , the day continues with dinner in good company.
Fifth day
For the 4-night Epiphany program: having an extra day at our disposal allows us to venture as far as Madonna di Campiglio and say we’ve seen all the best that Val di Sole and Val di Pejo have to offer. We’ll go snowshoeing as a group through fir forests and along snow-covered trails that will take us to the foot of Pietra Grande and Cima Groste, and then we’ll climb up to Malga Vaglianella, where a well-deserved rest awaits us. We’ll return to the hotel. See you next weekend for another snow adventure!
