What to do in summer
Are you asking yourself about what to do in summer in Fiera di Primiero?
If you are looking for advice on what activities you can do at Fiera di Primiero during the summer you are in the right place!
Primiero Valley is a beautiful alpine valley in Trentino-Alto Adige, just underneath one of the biggest mountain chains of the dolomites: the Pale di San Martino. Someone is supposing that the Pale di San Martino are the most beautiful mountain chain of the Dolomites, with a special view from San Martino. Now it’s up to you to decide if it‘s true, it’s only possible to discover those places by yourselves and decide what to see and do in Fiera di Primiero in summer. Here are some suggestions!
Walking through the historical centre of Fiera di Primiero
Fiera di Primiero is a beautiful village in Trentino characterised by a typical old-tyrolean architecture style. Indeed, in the past this small village was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and despite being the youngest village in the valley, taking advantage of its central geographic position, soon became the historic and commercial “capital” of the valley.
Today, the centre is entirely pedestrian and it’s worth it to walk through its ways and immerse yourself in local life.
Visiting Calaita lake
If you’re looking for a breathtaking and postcard view then you can’t lose the opportunity to visit the Calaita lake, in the neighbouring Vanoi Valley. 15 kms far away from Fiera di Primiero, the Calaita lake is reachable in around 30 minutes – if you don’t want to drive, you can use the bus service from Trentino Trasporti.. You’ll land in an amazing scenery: the Miralago hut faces just in front of this beautiful mountain lake, taking your sight a bit more to the horizon between the two mountain sides which create the Forcella Calaita, you’ll see the mythical Cimon della Pala rise.
Tour of Colbricon lakes from Passo Rolle
Another amazing tour for those who choose the Valle di Primiero for their summer vacation, Laghetti di Colbricon are two small alpine lakes located in the heart of Parco Naturale Paneveggio Pale di San Martino. You’ll reach Passo Rolle by car and in around 35 minutes and park the car nearby Malga Rolle. From there you have to follow the directions for Laghetti di Colbricon – a very easy trail will take you through the forest in around 40 minutes – the walk is 5 kms long, without difficulties.
Tour to Baita Segantini from Passo Rolle
Another attraction of Passo Rolle is without a doubt Baita Segantini, the famous “baita” where for decades lived a hermit called Alfred Paluselli, today one of the most photographed spots in the dolomites – and for a good reason! To get there a good idea is to leave the car in the first parking, just underneath Passo Rolle. From there the path will start and in 30 minutes you’ll reach the famous Baita. From there you can enjoy one of the most beautiful views on Cimon della Pala, the mountain that pushed the English alpinist John Ball to call it the “Cervino delle Dolomiti”.
Canyoning in Val Noana
Do you need an adrenaline boost or an unique experience that you have never lived before? Then you have to go down the Noana river, carried by the flow of the waterslides and swimming in its clear crystal water. Don’t worry, there isn’t any particular physical preparation needed for the “Canyoning”: the assistance of our alpine guides is enough to let you live an unique and safe experience.
