What to do in Molveno

Up in the air

Paragliding

In the air between wind and clouds: the extraordinary adrenaline of paragliding.

In the town of Molveno, among the Brenta Dolomites, there are many reference centers for trying this adrenaline-filled experience, one above all the  fly tandem experience. In a two-seater, accompanied by an expert professional, you experience the thrill of a descent at high altitude. Here the Ora, the wind that blows mildly from south to north, is your friend, and the scenery that opens up before you offers evocative emotions between the blue sky, the clear water of the lake and the majesty of the mountains.

Fishing

Fishing in Molveno, the search for relaxation while fishing in the mountains.

The art of fishing even on Lake Molveno requires experience and knowledge but above all a lot of inner tranquility, just like meditation. Experiencing the mountains means taking all the time you need, breathing slowly. Even when you dedicate yourself to your ideal sport, the Brenta Dolomites give you concentration and stability. All lovers of fishing know this well, an activity widely practiced on Lake Molveno every year by thousands of tourists and local inhabitants.

Rafting

For those who love sports involving water but prefer more adrenaline-pumping activities, rafting is recommended, widely practiced on the rivers of the Paganella plateau, particularly the Noce. You get on a particular type of unsinkable dinghy and begin your fast descent towards the valley, guided by the push of the stream.

Only strong emotions for those who practice this sport in which training, mental clarity and above all a spirit of collaboration are necessary. The crew steers the boat thanks to special paddles to mark the course despite the great speed of the current.
