Where: Trento
Distance: 1,700km

 

 

 

After the exertion of the last few days it was such a relief to take a well earned rest in the Italian town of Trento. Everything was Trent so Trent felt very at home.

 

Our main aim over the three days was to explore the Dolomites and to go paragliding.

 

The Dolomites are a hidden or semi hidden gem. The towering mountain peaks rise effortlessly out of the valleys. I don€™t think I have ever been as impressed by the majesty of nature as I was those few days in the Dolomites.

If you haven€™t been paragliding before I would totally recommend it. You feel like a bird. It was my second time and it reignited my passion to try and learn this sport one day soon. My pilot had come third in a recent competition so I was glad that he was willing to push the cork screw dive towards the lake to its limits.
