Many opportunities for activities both on water and on land
Riva del Garda is located in an area that offers endless opportunities for exciting activities, both on land and on water. Surrounded by the majestic Dolomites and always close to beautiful Lake Garda, this is a perfect place for an active holiday week.
Sprek's own instructor has planned fun workouts featuring strength, conditioning, mobility, and relaxation – or a combination of these, and they will be adapted so that everyone can participate and perform at their own level.
For those who wish, there are opportunities for excursions such as an MTB bike trip down from Monte Tremalzo. You can also try Canyoning (gorge walking) down waterfalls and cascades in the beautiful Ledro Valley. These activities, if chosen, are not included in the price.
What is Via Ferrata?
During the First World War, iron paths were built in the mountains in Italy for the first time, and these iron paths were then called Via Ferrata, hence the name. The routes on these rock faces are equipped with fixed safety devices such as steel cables, brackets, ladders, and bridges along the entire route or parts of the stage. With the help of helmets and harnesses, we can climb the mountain in the safest and most predictable way possible, without needing to possess climbing skills or climbing knowledge. Normally good fitness and motor skills are usually enough to walk a Via Ferrata. A guided tour on a Via Ferrata with climbing harnesses offers the chance to experience a fantastic adventure on the rock face.
NB! Should you not wish to climb Via Ferrata, there are good alternative paths available. If this is relevant, we may divide the group into two on these days.
Quick facts about the trip
We fly with Norwegian from Værnes to Milan Malpensa. From the airport, the journey goes directly north to Madonna di Campiglio. From there, we take a cable car/Jeep up to a mountain cabin for an overnight stay.
The next few days feature wonderful hikes in the spectacular Brenta Dolomites, with overnight stays at mountain cabins over 2000 meters above sea level. The hikes are on nice trails with a mix of paths and fantastic Via Ferratas. Hilly, without being extremely demanding, so anyone with normally good fitness can manage this.
Basic accommodation in multi-bed rooms at the mountain cabins. Good toilet and shower facilities, as well as a good restaurant at the cabins.
On day three, we are transported down to Lake Garda (approx. 1.5 hours). Here we will have four days of training and activities, as well as the opportunity for sun & swimming. A great hotel located within walking distance of Lake Garda.
