A tour of Madonna di Campiglio in Italy's Trentino region offers a combination of stunning mountain scenery, outdoor activities, and delicious local cuisine. To fully explore the attractions and savor the local food and wine specialties, I would recommend spending around three to four days in Madonna di Campiglio. Here's a suggested itinerary to help you plan your trip:
Day 1: Arrival and Acclimatization
- Arrive in either Verona or Milan, as they are the closest airports to Madonna di Campiglio.
- From the airport, you can rent a car or take a private transfer to Madonna di Campiglio. The drive from Verona takes approximately two hours.
- Check into your accommodation in Madonna di Campiglio, which offers a range of options from luxury hotels to cozy mountain lodges.
- Spend the afternoon exploring the town center, strolling along the pedestrian-friendly streets, and enjoying the alpine atmosphere.
- For dinner, head to a local restaurant where you can savor regional specialties such as canederli (bread dumplings), polenta, and hearty Trentino dishes.
Day 2: Outdoor Adventures and Scenic Beauty
- Start your day by taking the cable car up to Spinale, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Dolomites and the Brenta Group. From there, you can go hiking, mountain biking, or even try paragliding.
- In the afternoon, explore the stunning landscapes of the Adamello Brenta Natural Park. Take a scenic walk around Lake Nambino or visit Cascate di Vallesinella, a series of beautiful waterfalls.
