Today, Alessio is taking me to the neighbouring Vanoi valley. I'm looking forward to discovering this sparsely populated area of unspoilt mountain landscapes, considered the ‘green heart of Trentino’.
We set off from Canal San Bovo and begin to climb up the valley, switching between gravel tracks and

After settling into the charming village of Siror, I meet my guide Alessio. ‘For this warm-up tour, I'm taking you to discover the villages of the Primiero valley. It’s a great introduction to gravel biking in the area’ he tells me.

You should leave when things are at their best. The last day on the Translagorai starts at 2,565 metres with a clear view of the Dolomites. I don't even want to set off, it's so beautiful to look at. But with the first warming rays of sunshine, I get up and quickly meet the shepherd who had a long chat

The day starts in fog and will stay that way. It's a shame about the visibility, but it gives the mighty volcanic mountains even more ruggedness and aloofness. I am totally blown away, but I really have a weakness for barren mountain landscapes. Again and again I stand in awe in this mountain world

I can't help it if the blueberries are so delicious, I decide, and end up taking a second breakfast break. And why should I rush? The weather is stable, the stage is moderate and nothing is pressing me. That's actually what we're looking for when trekking: To slow down in nature. And so I sit in the

This second stage in two words: exhausting and beautiful. I really like the mountains, these paths and the solitude. So much so that I take my first break after just an hour and have breakfast. All right, and to tend to blisters, send messages home and watch the marmots. I'm taking lots of breaks today

‘Oh great!’, I think as I lie snuggled up in my warm sleeping bag in my tent, my dog Greta lying at my feet, raindrops pattering outside. I finally have internet and so I can take you with me, at least virtually, on this alpine adventure trek.
So I'm sending you a ‘Salve’ from Trentino, more precisely

On the third day, we start by descending the Vanoi valley. We pass through Imer, which is gearing up to host the ‘Festa del Canederlo’. ‘An event that attracts up to 30,000 people every year,’ proudly says Alessio who lives there. We don't have time to sample this local speciality, as there's something
