• Where to stay in Folgaria – Alpe Cimbra
Why should you stay in Folgaria? The answer is easy, this is one of the oldest communities in Trentino, it has German-Cimbrian origins making it an interesting place to visit. Plus, the city has a cute city center with shops and restaurants selling the best wines and delicacies from around the region. During the Winter Folgaria is a hub for skiers due to its altitude, 1,170m above sea level, with slopes for Nordic skiing and Alpine skiing. In the Summer the city offers endless biking and hiking trails, and an 18-hole golf course at 1,200m of altitude.
• Alpen Hotel Eghel: we spent two nights there and had a great time. The property is big and offers from standard rooms to superior double and family rooms, all with breakfast included in the rates. The hotel has a gorgeous restaurant [the food we ate was delicious], bar, swimming pool, sauna, spa, kids playground and parking. It’s conveniently located a few meters from Folgaria city center, close to many hiking and biking trails, ski slopes and the public transportation stops by the hotel door.

How about a ‘higher’ campsite?
• Nordic Resort Millegrobbe: Although we had dinner, breakfast and used the spa from Millegrobbe Resort and I can tell you everything was beyond amazing, we didn’t technically sleep at the hotel. We slept in suspended tents in the surrounding forest, we talk about that on our list of cool things to do in Alpe Cimbra in the Summer. It’s a bit far from Lavarone lake, but the location is superb. For skiers, Millegrobbe has a cross-country skiing center that is worth checking out and it’s also a bike-friendly hotel.
