In the summer, Trentino-Alto Adige transforms into a huge open-air playground that offers plenty of opportunities for unforgettable experiences to enjoy with your children and teens. In this article, we’ll share some of the most original and engaging activities you can do in the region.
Paintball
How can you explain paintball to someone who’s never heard of it? Colors aside, this activity is a true blend of adrenaline, tactics, and coordination. Paintball is a team sport that involves both adults and children, in which two teams compete using “paintballs” to capture the opposing team’s base. Even children as young as 8 can play.

Visit a Mine
Hard hat, headlamp, rain gear—and the adventure can begin: the mines of Trentino-Alto Adige are waiting for you! Please note that you can explore them with expert guides; they’re not suitable for people with claustrophobia, and there’s a minimum age requirement for entry. Discover them all in this article here.
Exploring caves and canyons
Suspended walkways, iron ladders anchored to the rock, and picturesque paths that lead deep into these rock caverns. Some can be visited with a guide, while others are open to the public free of charge. In some cases, you can explore them in a truly adrenaline-pumping way: through canyoning or kayaking. We list the caves and canyons of Trentino-Alto Adige in this article here.
Adventure Parks
For those with children or teens who love a challenge, these are a great way to spend a few hours outdoors as a family. We’ve compiled a list of adventure parks in Trentino in this article here and those in South Tyrol in this article here.
Adrenaline-Pumping Experiences at High Altitudes
High speeds, weightless rides, roller coasters, three-wheeled vehicles, and much more… We’ve compiled all these options in this article right here.
Climbing
It’s not always easy to find a place to enjoy this sport as a family. So, after traveling the length and breadth of Trentino in search of such places, we’ve compiled a list of climbing crags in Trentino-Alto Adige in this article and a list of climbing gyms in this article.
Rafting
Finally, here’s another activity that’s often underestimated or considered “for grown-ups.” There are several companies that offer less extreme rafting trips suitable even for families. Even within this category, there’s a further distinction between experiences that focus more on adrenaline and others that focus more on nature. One thing is certain: you’ll get wet, but rafting is absolutely a fabulous experience! We’ve tried several over the years; you can find them HERE
