Italy

Brenta Dolomites. Amazing mountain range approx. 40 km long and are bounded by the Val di Sole, the Valle di Non, Lake Molveno and the Paganella mountain chain. In the south they are bounded by the Valli Giudicarie and in the west by the Val Rendena. They are located in the Adamello Brenta Nature Park and include 8 peaks which are more than 3000 m. Several other peaks are more than 2800 m high. In the history of alpinism, the Brenta Dolomites had an important role to play. Characteristic for this area are also a large number of fixed rope routes in various degrees of difficulty and numerous trails to run or just walk.

Lake Garda. Is the largest Italian lake, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy. It is located on the border between three regions: Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino. It’s a short drive from the Dolomites and offers a wide range of sports activities. Around the lake are a wide range of trails and climbing areas. Many of the trails are not well known so it’s a great way of getting away from the tourists on the lake.

Portugal

Peneda-Geres National Park. A Unesco Biosphere Reserve, Peneda-Geres National Park covers over 700 km2 of protected land with stunning mountain trails, river beaches, and historical villages such as Geres. The Peneda-Geres National Park consists of four main mountain ranges: Peneda, Geres, Amarela, and Soajo. It is a real wilderness with many unmarked paths and treks. Portugal is still mostly an undiscovered gem in Europe. It’s very safe, hospitable and has a wide range of rustic low cost accomodation, food and wine. The scenery is stunning.
