They offer complete tourist packages promoting the Zoncolan area as an ideal destination for lovers of nature, open-air sports, history, culture, traditions and food and wine.
“We offer integrated services to visitors”
"Our main aim is to promote sustainable and quality tourism, which respects the environment and contributes to the economic and social development of the local community,- says president Silvio Ortis. -The collaboration between the member companies makes it possible to offer integrated services to visitors, while guaranteeing a mutual benefit for the companies themselves.”
A monthly calendar of activities
Through the network it is possible to book stays in hotels, taste local cuisine in affiliated restaurants, participate in guided excursions and sports activities and purchase typical local products. The hikes are planned together with a series of activities for adults and children according to a monthly calendar, but can also be requested individually or for small groups. "We are very satisfied with the feedback we received last summer,- adds Ortis. -We registered a lot of interest and a growing desire for engaging experiences in nature, both from families and slow tourism enthusiasts."
