Glamping in the Dolomites and Trentino-Alto Adige: Where to Stay in 2026

Destinations — Italy

The best areas for glamping in the Dolomites and Trentino-Alto Adige are Val di Fassa and Val Gardena for the most scenic views, Lake Braies for its postcard setting, and the Adige Valley between Trento and Bolzano for a more affordable option among apple orchards and vineyards. It's one of the eight Italian areas covered in our roundup of the best glamping destinations in Europe, with a strong summer season from June to September and a second winter peak for snow seekers. Here are the best areas, what to expect on price, and when to book.

Val di Fassa and Val Gardena: domes and chalets with mountain views

These two Ladin valleys hold the Dolomites' highest-end glamping offer: panoramic geodesic domes, timber chalets and renovated mountain huts with direct views of Sassolungo, Catinaccio and the Sella massif. They're the ideal base for combining summer hiking or winter skiing with a comfortable stay, often including a private sauna or hot tub. Proximity to Canazei and Ortisei also makes it easy to head out for dinner or an evening in town.

Lake Braies and the alpine lakes

Lake Braies, with its emerald-green water ringed by rock walls, is probably the most-photographed image of glamping in Trentino-Alto Adige, but the area also has quieter alternatives such as Lake Caldonazzo or Lake Molveno. Glamping here tends to be simpler — equipped tents or small cabins close to the shore — and works well as a base for hiking without giving up a proper bed and private bathroom. In high season it's worth booking well ahead: access to Braies itself is already limited by a parking reservation system.

Adige Valley: orchards and vineyards between Trento and Bolzano

For a more affordable alternative to the high mountains, the Adige Valley between Trento and Bolzano offers a more agricultural style of glamping, among apple orchards, vineyards and a cycle path that follows the river for over 90 km. It's a less dramatic landscape than the Dolomite valleys, but with lower prices and a great base for visiting both the cities and the nearby mountains in a day trip. Many properties in the region accept small and medium-sized dogs — travellers bringing their own can check our guide to dog-friendly glamping in Europe for the most common rules.

How much does glamping in the Dolomites cost

As already noted in our guide to glamping prices in Europe, the Dolomites' premium areas are among the most expensive in the country, on a par with Val d'Orcia: you'll rarely find anything under €150 a night in high season. Basic tents and chalets start at €130-180, design domes and lodges with mountain views run €200-350, while the most exclusive stays with a private sauna or spa often top €400. The Adige Valley remains the more affordable option, with rates that can drop below €120 even at the height of summer.

When to go

Summer, from June to September, is the strongest season for hiking, lakes and mild temperatures at altitude. Many properties also run a second winter peak, from December to March, for travellers after snowy scenery and easy access to the slopes, though rates stay high over the Christmas holidays. Between the two seasons, especially in May and November, many mountain properties close for maintenance — it's always worth checking opening dates before booking.

The Dolomites remain the most scenic choice for mountain glamping in Italy, but not the only one: travellers who've already seen Val di Fassa and Braies can look to the Adige Valley for a simpler, more affordable stay, still within an hour's drive of the most famous peaks.
