Caserada & Night in a Mountain Hut
A unique experience at 2.300 meters, beneath the peak of Presanella in Val di Sole, the highest in Trentino. The activity includes a guided trek to the Denza Refuge (4.5 km – 500 meters elevation gain – 2 hours), a hands-on “caserada” activity producing traditional goat cheese, dinner, and an overnight stay in the refuge.
In the evening, you’ll find yourself under a starry sky, and with the guidance of Alpine guide Mirko, you’ll observe the stars in a way you’ve never experienced before. This is a unique, challenging, and original team-building experience that will leave you with unforgettable memories.
Team Building at the Refuge with Ursus Adventures
This extraordinary two-day journey will strengthen bonds and solidify team spirit. It is more than just a mountain hike—it’s an opportunity for your team to grow and connect while immersed in the timeless beauty of Trentino.
The Experience:
Start your two-day adventure with an incredible trek beneath the imposing Presanella, Trentino’s highest peak at 3,558 meters. Guided by mountain professionals, the 2-hour hike covers approximately 5 km with a 450-meter elevation gain and is suitable for all participants with proper support. Along the way, you’ll traverse trails rich in history and breathtaking landscapes that will captivate you.
Upon arrival at the Denza Refuge, you’ll be warmly welcomed by hosts Mirko and Erika, who will open the doors to their mountain home. Mirko, an Alpine guide, and Erika, a psychologist, are a mountain-loving couple dedicated to preserving and sharing the culture of this unique environment.
Water is a precious and limited resource here, and participants will be kindly asked to skip showering during their stay—a small sacrifice that helps protect this fragile ecosystem and leaves a deeply rewarding sense of contribution.
After settling into the shared dormitories, you’ll take part in the “Caserada” experience, where you’ll make goat cheese following an authentic, traditional Val di Sole recipe. This unique activity at 2,300 meters will become an indelible memory for your team, as you work together to create a delicious product in a shared, hands-on experience.
The day will culminate with a dinner featuring local specialties, followed by an evening of stargazing. Under the fresh Trentino night sky, you’ll discover the true colors of the stars with expert explanations, making the moment magical and unforgettable.
Day Two:
Your morning will begin with a special breakfast featuring “primo sale” cheese made by your own hands the day before. Refreshed and energized, you’ll embark on the return trek, guided once again by the experts who will safely lead you back to the valley.
The two-day experience concludes with a lunch at a local restaurant, including a mixed salad, a duo of pasta dishes, dessert, and coffee.
