A walking trail through woods and meadows

The “Candriai - Vaneze - Candriai” walking trail starts at the car park by Candriai’s sports grounds. It follows paths and roads through the woods and meadows of the mid-mountain area to Vaneze. The route is 6.48 kilometres long, with an approximate walking time of two hours and 25 minutes. This estimate can help with planning your day, but may vary depending on conditions and your walking pace. Trail conditions can also vary by season.

The trail includes a section along SAT trail 628 to Malga Brigolina. On the return, after leaving SAT trail 645, the route follows the Trento Nostra path back to Candriai. Vaneze is a point on the trail, which then continues back to Candriai.

Play and sports facilities

The Parco naturale di Candriai has a children’s play area with swings, a net roundabout, a zip line, a play structure with three towers, a slide, a wobbly bridge and climbing features. If you are looking for play options while planning your day, you will find a wide selection of equipment here. The facilities may change over time.

The sports facilities in the park, which are free to use, include table tennis, a basketball court, a small-sided football pitch and a grass football pitch. Candriai also has a tennis court, available from 08:00 to 20:00 by reservation. The options differ in practical terms too: the listed sports areas are free to use, while the tennis court requires a reservation. Since availability times may change, it is advisable to confirm the information before visiting.

Wildlife observation and milk processing
