The routes dedicated to children are simple, short, with little elevation gain and often accessible even with pushchairs, yet always immersed in nature and surrounded by mountain views. Along the way, it is easy to find many amenities, such as play areas for a fun break and picnic areas equipped with tables and benches. Finally, the lifts allow you to easily reach the high-altitude trails and offer little adventurers an even more enjoyable way to experience the mountain.

Hikes for children amidst animals, history and water

For children, one of the best aspects of a hike is encountering animals up close: some mountain walks lead to alpine pastures, where you can make friends with cows and horses and taste fresh mountain dairy products. At Case di Viso, the little ones can discover how people lived before modern conveniences, while at Tonale Pass they can learn about the history of the White War by exploring trenches and forts. And then there are small lakes and streams, the perfect companions for any trip: the area is criss-crossed by water flowing down from the glaciers, its gurgling sound accompanying many of the footpaths.
