SUMMER EXPERIENCES
“So beautiful that the other seasons revolve around her. Autumn remembers her, winter longs for her, and spring envies her.”
SUMMER ACTIVITIES
The activities on the Pinè and Cembra highlands are varied and cater to different types of holidays. In its own small way, Casa Ester promotes and supports these offers:
HOLIDAYS ON THE LAKE
For those who desire the tranquility of the lake with sun, loungers, books, and swimming... Lake Serraia is the place for you! Its perimeter is marked by a convenient path that connects it to the other lake on the highlands, Lake delle Piazze. Lake Serraia is ideal for adults and children alike to spend a day surrounded by nature, playing sports, or simply relaxing on its shores. Less than 200 meters from Casa Ester is a public beach, equipped with a pier and lifeguard service, along with a children's playground. You'll also find several lakeside venues where you can enjoy Trentino specialties and more, and for hopeless romantics, a sunset aperitivo is a must.
BIKE & E-BIKE
Cycling enthusiasts will enjoy an unforgettable holiday on the Pinè and Cembra Highlands in Trentino. Our area offers numerous opportunities for cycling, mountain biking, and e-bike excursions, suitable for both beginners and more experienced cyclists, such as the tour around Lake Serraia ( which starts just a few meters from us) and Lake delle Piazze, or the Valsugana cycle path, which starts at Lake Caldonazzo and ends in Bassano del Grappa (with the option of returning by train). For more expert cyclists, we suggest the Ceramonte , Malga Stramaiolo , Malga Vernera , Dosso di Segonzano tours and for the more passionate cyclists, the Manghen pass (2,047 m), one of the most famous Dolomite passes covered in the Giro d'Italia. Given our commitment to sustainability, Casa Ester certainly couldn't miss out on offering the option to rent e-bikes directly for your cycling adventures! And, whenever we can, we like to join you, but if we can’t, we're happy to recommend some great routes for you to explore.
