Molveno Holidays

Traditional town

The small town is pretty as a postcard, with its twisty cobbled streets, 13^th-century church and brightly painted buildings huddled on the hillside. Spend those long summer days browsing independent food and craft shops, people-watching outside cafés and learning a thing or two about local history at the Museum of Costumes and Traditions.

Adamello-Brenta National Park

Of course, the scenery is one of the real stars here. The town is the only one on the edge of the bright blue Lake Molveno, which is surrounded by the meadows and forest-covered peaks of the Brenta Dolomites. Take a boat trip across the water for 360-degree views, or follow your feet along waking paths around the shore. You can also hop on the cable car in town to get up to the Pradel Plateau at 1,367m, where you can begin hiking and mountain biking routes and get a closer look at the national park's imposing rocky spires.

What shall we do today?

You can be as relaxed or active as you like on your trip here. While away your time with gentle strolls or breathtaking hikes, long lunches in mountain huts or afternoons on the beach. Why not try something new and get stuck into watersports like canoeing or stand-up paddle-boarding, or soar through the sky on an epic tandem paragliding flight. Families can have great fun at the Forest Park high ropes course and Educational Farm up on the Pradel Plateau. Or for a little culture, there are historic sites to visit like Stenico Castle.
