Summer

Val Comelico ……a mountain gem

Summer in Val Comelico, a haven for lovers of the great outdoors: hiking excursions, trekking, mountain-climbing and mountain-biking.

There are many marked walking paths and trails which go from gentle strolls through charming alpine hamlets, woods, flower-filled meadows and pastures to more demanding ventures up into the rocky mountain crests and peaks. The views are always dramatic and awe-inspiring. Immerse yourself in this wonderful landscape and absorb the peace and tranquillity. Here time stands still, it’s almost spiritual. Finish off your perfect day relaxing at the “Dolomiti Thermal Spas” and enjoy a spectacular close up view of the mountains while you soak in the pools. You can just simply sit and enjoy the atmosphere at a village cafè, or sample some of the exquisite specialities of the valley at one of the local restaurants.
You can expect all this and more from a holiday in the beautiful Val Comelico.
Expert tourist guides, Alpine guides and MTB guide members of the MTB Association ”Spiquy” Team are also available to help you.
