A quiet and authentic corner of Trentino, nestled between Lake Garda and the peaks of Monte Stivo, Val di Gresta is a destination full of surprises. Known as the first organic valley in Trentino, it offers unspoiled rural landscapes, naturally cultivated fields, the scent of wild herbs, and a network of trails that invites you to slow down, observe, and breathe.
