There are countless places to visit in our wonderful Trentino-Alto Adige, each one more beautiful than the next. For those with young children, however, it’s not always easy to figure out where to go and choose new destinations that can be reached with a standard “city” stroller. So where can you go with a stroller at lower elevations? Thanks to our many years of “hands-on” experience, we’ve put together a list of some of the most beautiful walks you can take with a traditional “four-wheeled” stroller (not necessarily a hiking stroller or any other specialized model).
With a Stroller at Low Altitude – TRENTINO
Bicycle and Pedestrian Path in Valle dei Laghi
Just a few kilometers from Trento, here’s a simple and pleasant low-altitude stroller walk surrounded by greenery, perfect for families with children. It’s an easy, almost entirely flat route that starts at Lake Terlago. You can decide how long to make the walk based on your needs and how much energy your little ones have. For all the details, read “Ciclopedonale in Valle dei Laghi.”
Upper Garda Bike and Pedestrian Path
A nine-kilometer-long, entirely flat trail (which can be ridden in its entirety or in sections) connects the village of Ceniga with Lake Garda, winding through vineyards and apple orchards with the Sarca River flowing alongside it the entire way.
