Grand Hotel Astoria

Located in the Alpe Cimbra region at the base of the Dolomites these towns make fantastic bases to enjoy the many activities available with some wonderful walks and trails for cycling and E-biking. While the scenery is often as stunning as the Dolomites the lower altitude and smaller peaks make for some very accessible walking for all abilities. Several of the ski lifts are open in the summer and are free to use with your Trentino guest cards.

Chiesa di Lavarone is one of the many localities or villages in the Lavarone region and in the warmer summer months gives you the chance to immerse yourself in sports, recreation and relaxation. But if you'd rather explore the historical town then the ancient 16th century buildings nestled in the forests of the high plateau are a fantastic starting point. From the 16th century churches to the quaint shops selling locally produced infused oils and rich balsamic vinegar to cafes serving gloriously sinful cakes with freshly brewed espresso, there is plenty of culture to immerse yourself in.

Inghams operate a telephone Rep service in Folgaria and Lake Lavarone.

Please note that the public bus service in Folgaria and Lake Lavarone begins in mid-June and chairlifts do not open until July.
