Taking advantage of bargain air fares many travellers are already planning where they will go in 2024, and The Telegraph’s travel section recently put Italy’s northern Trentino region high on its list for family holidays. But not for skiing! Although its Dolomite resorts have over 500 miles of ski runs, they choose the Trentino as a dream destination for the warmer months and for watersports breaks.
The secret is that this region has hundreds of lovely lakes - Lake Garda is the best known - that are perfect for canoeing and rowing and, when the wind picks up in the afternoon, for windsurfing and sailing too. Singling out Lake Idro, one of the Trentino’s smallest lakes, the Telegraph added that it also has two paragliding sites. And, we add, on Lake Idro you can take cruise boats that stop at picturesque towns. And you can even take your bicycle and your dog on board.
Amazing Italy. Always full of surprises.
