Sunday: Flights, transfers and welcome
You will be met at Venice Marco Polo Airport for the transfer to the Hotel Gaarten in Gallio. In the evening we will have a welcome drink before an introductory meeting and dinner.
Monday: Picnic trek
This morning we head for the mountains where we spend the day trekking, rock scrambling and admiring the expansive views across the region and the Dolomites. A picnic lunch is included.
Tuesday: Rafting & river trekking
We leave the plateau and descend into the Valstagna Valley for a day on the River Brenta. Today's activities include white water rafting and river trekking with a barbecue lunch included to maintain our energy levels.
Wednesday: Cycling exploration day
After allocating your bikes we transfer to the Granezza Woods where our instructors will provide an introduction to mountain biking to ensure children and less confident riders make the most of the day. Experienced cyclists will set off to cover extra distance with both groups meeting up for lunch in a mountain refuge cabin. We will cover a minimum of 20kms during our four hour ride.
Thursday: Free day or optional activities
Relax, take advantage of the hotel's spa facilities or why not try some of the activities available locally?
Friday: Horse riding
The day will be split according to the number of people in our group and their respective abilities. Beginners will receive an hour of expert tuition and assessment before venturing away from the stables. For the more experienced riders, this is simply wonderful horse riding terrain.
Saturday: Mini-rafting
We return to the valley for another session on the Brenta River. Mini-rafting is similar to white water rafting but in smaller inflatables giving you far more control over your own destiny as you negotiate the rapids. After a light lunch it's back to the hotel for a relaxing afternoon before our farewell meal this evening.
Sunday: Depart or extend your stay
Today you will either head back to the airport or we can arrange for you to extend your stay in Italy and visit the awe inspiring city of Venice - it's great way to top off your holiday.
