These are bikes with large wheels suitable for white, soft surfaces and low temperatures, ideal for those who want to pedal even in the cold season and have the feeling of “swimming” in the snow. Pedaling on the routes designed for this type of bike, alone or with a guide, easy movement between the firs and larch trees, in the silence of the white forest, is a dream within everyone’s reach, also thanks to the availability of the pedal electric fat bike. Don’t miss the itineraries in Trentino, located in the areas of Folgaria, Lavarone, Luserna, and Vigolana, among the most evocative in the area.
Among the outdoor activities that adults and children love the most in winter, it is without a doubt skating. Most mountain resorts are organized with suggestive slopes, some of which wind through the forest to offer an unforgettable experience. For example, in Lombardy, many ski resorts are equipped with natural or artificial ice rinks and also offer the possibility of renting skates. In the center of Aprica, in Valtellina, you can skate on a large outdoor ice rink, which can also be used in the evening thanks to lighting. However, the ice surface in Bormio allows you to practice curling and hockey in addition to skating.
