Fiemme Car-Free

A valley that says no to cars

Fiemme Car-Free is one of the most beloved sustainable mobility events in Trentino. Every year in early June, the SS48 Dolomite road is closed to vehicular traffic for an entire day, transforming into a long, temporary cycle path: twelve kilometers free of cars connecting Cavalese to Predazzo, passing through the villages of Ville di Fiemme, Tesero, Panchià, and Ziano di Fiemme, all the way to the Predazzo Biolake. Launched in 2009, the initiative is now a staple of the Fiemme spring, attracting families, cyclists, and curious visitors from all over Val di Fiemme and beyond.

Panchià, a stop in the heart of the valley

The municipality of Panchià, in the province of Trento and the Trentino-Alto Adige region, is one of the most lively stops on the route. Along Via Nazionale, you will find a succession of stalls, live music, and local culinary offerings: the famous fortaie (traditional funnel cakes), delicious yogurt-based breakfasts, sausage sandwiches, and street food prepared by local associations. It is a unique way to experience the village, reclaiming the streets and rediscovering the pleasure of getting around on foot, by bike, on rollerblades, or by scooter.

A full day of activities

From 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the main road becomes a true open-air stage. Along the entire route, you will find:

• Live music, dance, and theatrical performances
• Games and activities for children and families
• Food stalls with local products and street food
• Information and culture stands managed by local associations
• Sports and outdoor movement opportunities

The event is completely free and designed to be reached without a car: a free Bike Express service is available by reservation, in addition to the valley-floor bus lines operated by Trentino Trasporti.

Sustainability and community

Organized by the municipalities of Val di Fiemme together with the Val di Fiemme Cembra Tourist Board, the Territorial Valley Community, and the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, the day has a clear goal: to promote a sustainable lifestyle, showcase the local area, and raise awareness among residents and tourists about the use of eco-friendly transport. More than just an event, Fiemme Car-Free has become a community festival that renews the bond between people and their valley every year.
