Autumn at the foot of the Pale di San Martino offers a special way to experience the mountains: slower, quieter and filled with colour. The forests come alive in shades of yellow, orange and red, the air turns crisp and every walk becomes an opportunity to admire the autumn foliage in the Dolomites and rediscover the simple pleasure of spending time outdoors together.
For those looking for easy autumn walks in the Dolomites, the Primiero San Martino di Castrozza area offers plenty of family-friendly trails. From the valley floor around Primiero, winding through villages, meadows and forests, to the paths of Val Canali, and onwards to the spectacular landscapes of San Martino di Castrozza, Passo Rolle and Val Venegia, there are countless ways to immerse yourself in the colours of autumn.
Easy forest roads and gentle trails invite you to explore at your own pace, surrounded by the crunch of leaves underfoot, the scent of earth and resin, and mountain views that reveal something new around every bend. Some routes are also suitable for families with pushchairs.
And what about the little ones? Autumn is made for playing outdoors: collecting leaves in all their different shapes, jumping into piles of foliage, looking for animal tracks and stopping to listen to the roar of red deer echoing through the forests of Vanoi. Discover our selection of easy hikes and family-friendly walks and experience the Dolomites in autumn, one step at a time – with nature, play and little adventures to remember.
