LOCATION
Camping Essenza Alpina is nestled in over 10,000 square meters of woodland, in a privileged position overlooking the Alpe Cimbra and the picturesque village of Folgaria. The surrounding landscape is striking, with wide meadows, lush forests, crystal-clear streams, and open horizons, a setting that differs from the typical Trentino mountain scenery. Nearby, guests can explore important historical and cultural sites such as World War I forts and trenches, as well as the Base Tuono Museum at Passo Coe. Nature lovers will appreciate destinations like Lake Lavarone, the Rio Cavallo Valley, and the Echen biotope, together with hiking trails ranging from leisurely walks to more demanding routes leading to peaks such as Becco di Filadonna, Monte Cornetto, and Cima Vezzena. Families with children will find special trails created for younger explorers, including the Vaia Dragon and the Imagination Path.

The Abete Bianco and Abete Rosso Chalets can accommodate up to six guests and feature two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite), a living area with kitchenette and sofa bed, and a panoramic terrace.
