7 nighs in Trentino-South tyrol...too much ?

Hi !

We (2 adults and 2 kids of 7 ans 11)are making a 28 nights road trip starting and Ending in venice. Venice-Istria-Plitvice-Zagreb- Ljubljana(and elsewhere in Slovenia)- Verona and South Tyrol.

Many lodging in the mountains ask for a 7 nights stay and we found one that looks great and who got a good price. The appartement is in Laion (Lajen). From there we have figure we could go in Bolzano (a 40 minutes car ride), Brassanone, do some cable car around Ortisei...and...thats about it.

We are not avid hikers, we do like some walking but not intensive (the 7 years old gets tired easily) so 5 days of hiking is out of question.

Can we still manage to have some fun and sightseeing in 7 days or this is really too much ?

any ideas/ suggestion are very welcome !

We have spent a month in the Val Gardena and return annually, but we are avid hikers. However, we do relatively easy hikes and there are many under an hour that you can do. Much of your sightseeing can (and should) be by bus and mountain lift, which I would think your kids would love. Park the car and enjoy the mountains!

There is a cute little lake at Fie’ for swimming. Lago di Fie. A day in Bolzano is a must (be sure to visit the ice man in the museum) and riding up to the Renon Plateau from Bolzano is fun. Very scenic train up there.
