A journey of self discovery awaits on the newly opened La Via delle Valli long-distance trail
La Via delle Valli, a brand new hiking trail in Trentino, opens this month and hikers will have access to all 50 of its routes, each equipped with online GPS tracking. There are still hidden gems waiting to be discovered, and they’re part of what makes Trentino a truly unique destination. Many of these secret places can now be explored along the new Via delle Valli, a long-distance hiking trail stretching between the majestic Brenta Dolomites and the glaciated Adamello. The route leads through more than 50 alpine valleys - many of them quiet, untouched, and still off the beaten path. Starting this summer, the trail invites visitors to immerse themselves in nature and in self-discovery.
50 Valleys, 5 Thematic Worlds
The route winds through both well-known valleys such as Val di Fumo, Val Nambrone, and Val Brenta, and lesser-known gems far from classic hiking circuits, like Val di Borzago, Val di Breguzzo, or the remote Val di Cercen. Each valley offers a unique experience; some are family-friendly and gentle, others demanding and alpine. Together, they tell the story of a mountain region rich in contrasts and diversity.
The experiences along La Via delle Valli are organized into five thematic worlds.
Nature & Movement showcases wild valleys with waterfalls, mountain lakes, and ancient forests, such as those in Val Nardis or Valle Stablel.
Culture & Craftsmanship highlights traditional alpine farming, regional artisanal heritage, and artistic inspiration from areas like Val d’Algone or Val dei Carboner.
Culinary Delights & Taste celebrates local cuisine and tastings in mountain huts and alpine farms, especially in Val di Breguzzo and Val Genova.
Mindfulness & Silence centers on retreat, slowness, and reflection in gentle natural settings like Val Nambrone and Vallesinella.
Finally, Mountaineering & Adventure features the most challenging routes and crossings between valleys - some of which are only recommended with a guide - such as in Val Cercen or Val di Lares.
A Path to Inner Reflection
The new trail is more than a celebration of scenic beauty and thematic storytelling. It’s also an invitation to slow down and reflect. The project is brought to life by local ambassadors who share their valleys with personal passion: a forest ranger, a Michelin-starred chef, a wild herb expert and a hiking blogger, among others. The concept at the heart of the trail is ‘The landscape shapes the mind’, illustrating how step by step, valley by valley, hiking transforms our perspective on the world.
Hiking Passport for Completing All Valleys
Starting in summer 2025, all 50 routes will be available online with GPS tracking. Hikers can document their journey either digitally or on paper, collecting entries or stamps for each valley walked. Those who complete the full circuit will receive the ‘Passaporto del Valligiano’ - a symbolic certificate honouring their journey through nature.
