Walk for Life

The Walk for Life in Val Rendena

The Walk for Life is a non-competitive charity walk that takes place every summer through the villages of Strembo, Bocenago, and Caderzone Terme, three small municipalities in Val Rendena, in the heart of the Brenta Dolomites, in the province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). The route, approximately 5 kilometers long, winds through a beautiful natural setting, among meadows, forests, and views of the Sarca River, offering participants a morning in the open air dedicated to movement and sharing.

An event born from solidarity

The initiative began in 2021 and has quickly become a deeply felt event for the community, capable of uniting people of all ages in the name of solidarity. The walk is jointly organized by the Pro Loco associations of Strembo, Bocenago, and Caderzone Terme, which set up refreshment points and welcoming areas along the route. All proceeds from the event are donated to the Amici del Paolin Association, founded in 2017 to support projects dedicated to children affected by rare genetic diseases and people with disabilities.

The territory and Val Rendena

Bocenago is a small municipality of about four hundred inhabitants nestled on the left bank of the Sarca River, a few kilometers south of Pinzolo and the renowned tourist resort of Madonna di Campiglio. Together with Strembo and Caderzone Terme, it forms a mosaic of alpine villages that preserve traditional architecture, historic fountains, and a strong sense of belonging. The walk is an opportunity to discover this authentic corner of Trentino, far from the major tourist flows, while enhancing the cohesion between the three communities.

A day of celebration and charity

The Walk for Life is part of a weekend dedicated to solidarity: the previous day, in fact, hosts "A Party for Everyone," another charitable initiative linked to the Amici del Paolin Association. At the end of the walk, in the afternoon, the event continues with a burraco tournament at the Oratory of Caderzone Terme, completing a day of fun and fundraising. All participants receive a souvenir gift, often a typical local product.

The event is suitable for families, casual walkers, and anyone wishing to contribute to a good cause while spending a few hours in the nature of Val Rendena.
