Camping Park Baita Dolomiti

Some serious hiking is around these mountainous parts: access one or more of a dozen or so trails at nearby Romeno, ranging from just under four or five to 16 or 17 kilometres across varied terrain. If the thought of mountain hikes makes you baulk, have gentle walks around the historical spots in the area instead, like the San Lorenzo, Santa Maria and Seio churches in nearby Sarnonico village, or the medieval castles including Tyrol, Runkelstein and Hocheppan a little further afield. Within 50 minutes by car or about two hours by public transport is the region's capital, Trento, with the art collections of Buonconsiglio Castle and the frescoed facades of its Renaissance palaces. There are also several well-known spa towns within easy reach, such as Merano and Rabbi, both 50 minutes by car, Lèvico Terme (one hour) and Peio, at an hour and 10 minutes' drive. Other must-sees in the region include spectacular Lake Tovel in Adamello Brenta Nature Park, the ancient sanctuary of medieval hilltop fort San Romedio as well as Castel Thun and the Brenta Dolomites – a UNESCO-listed habitat for brown bears.
