Have you ever heard of Madonna di Campiglio and Val Rendena in summer? If you only know it as a winter ski destination, prepare to see it in a whole new light. This corner of Trentino transforms in the warmer months into a lush green paradise where nature reigns supreme… and relaxation is a given.
Framed by the majestic Brenta Dolomites – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – this valley is a treasure trove of trails, alpine lakes, waterfalls and traditional mountain huts, offering views so stunning they’ll take your breath away (and not just because of the climb!).
Whether you’re an experienced hiker or simply seeking a peaceful stroll, Val Rendena has a path to suit. Don’t miss the Vallesinella Waterfall, the San Giuliano lakes circuit, or a gentle walk along the Val Rendena cycle path.
Mountain bike enthusiasts will find their own slice of heaven here, with routes suited to both families and more advanced riders. A highlight is the Dolomiti Brenta Bike, a loop trail that traverses the entire Brenta Dolomites area. Choose the “Expert” version for a real thrill, or the “Country” route if you prefer leisurely rides through villages, pastures and forests.
The Val Rendena Cycle Path stretches for 25 km from Carisolo to Villa Rendena. It’s flat, scenic and ideal for e-bikes or for those wanting to enjoy an active day out without too much effort.
Don’t have a bike with you? Not to worry – local rentals and MTB guides are readily
available. Noleggio 5 Laghi is a great option, offering a wide range of Fantic and Cube e-bikes, junior models, helmets, accessories, and traditional mountain bikes for both novice and experienced cyclists.
They also organise tours on the breathtaking cycle paths of Val Rendena and neighbouring Val di Sole.
After a walk or bike ride through the magnificent Dolomites, there’s nothing like a well-earned culinary break. The mountain huts (malghe) in the area serve up typical Trentino dishes: creamy polenta, alpine cheeses, speck and delicious homemade desserts. Dining at high altitude, with views of the peaks, offers an experience like no other – especially if you stop
at Malga Ritorto, a charming mountain lodge in one of the most scenic spots of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park.
Perched on a natural terrace with sweeping views over the central section of the imposing Brenta Dolomites – from north to south – Malga Ritorto offers not only a visual feast, but also an exceptional culinary experience. Its rustic and welcoming atmosphere features wooden outdoor tables perfect for sunny days, as well as a cosy interior warmed by a traditional stove and fireplace.
The menu is a celebration of authentic mountain cuisine, blending traditional recipes with modern touches. Local ingredients take centre stage, ensuring every bite is packed with genuine flavour. Be sure to save room for dessert – the homemade sweets are utterly irresistible.
And it’s not just the mountain huts… For lovers of Trentino cuisine, Madonna di Campiglio also offers plenty of delicious places to eat and unwind.
A must-visit? Le Roi, a classic restaurant that wins you over from the very first bite. Located near the most scenic ski slopes – right opposite the legendary 3Tre piste – it combines the charm of an alpine chalet with the convenience of being just steps from the town centre.
The menu is a perfect balance of traditional Trentino fare and Mediterranean favourites, including fresh fish dishes. Don’t miss the homemade canederli (dumplings), the grilled meats, and the legendary wood-fired pizza – thin, crispy and full of flavour.
Even the desserts are worth writing home about: the strudel is second to none!
The service is fast and friendly, and families with children will be happy to know the restaurant is very kid-friendly.
Whether you’re enjoying a post-hike dinner or a relaxed lunch with friends, Le Roi is always a winning choice. Bonus points for the wine list, which showcases a well-curated selection of local bottles.
If what you’re looking for is a complete break from everyday life, Val Rendena has just what you need. Many hotels and mountain lodges offer spa and wellness centres, often with panoramic views. Think saunas, hot tubs and treatments with mountain pine – the perfect recharge for body and mind.
A truly immersive wellness experience awaits at Hotel Crozzon, where hospitality goes beyond the traditional stay, incorporating sport, excursions, fine dining – and above all, total relaxation.
After a day spent exploring the mountains, guests can unwind in a fully-equipped spa featuring a pool, Turkish bath, bio-sauna, Finnish sauna and a range of massage treatments.
Hotel Crozzon perfectly embodies the spirit of the Dolomites – not just in its decor, which reflects the warmth and natural beauty of the mountains, but also in its cuisine. Dining here is a celebration of authentic Trentino tradition.The hotel boasts two restaurants – Crozzon and Wine Stube – both open to the public. The former offers a refined take on regional dishes, thanks to the creativity of Michelin-starred chef Paolo Cappuccio. The latter showcases rustic classics, like Fonduta di Trentingrana or Bourguignonne di Carne in Olio, served with excellent local wines.
Beyond food and wellness, the hotel offers a full range of outdoor activities, a Golf Simulator Fitting Centre, and even a shuttle service to the main lifts of the Madonna di Campiglio ski area.
In short, summer in Val Rendena is a perfect blend of nature, sport, flavour and relaxation.If you’ve never been, it’s time to add it to your list.And if you’ve already experienced it… well, you know: the desire to return is impossible to resist.
