The visit to the educational farm represents an opportunity for direct contact with animals, with their food and the typical smells of rural mountain life.
The children can watch cows being milked, approach the animals, feed them and satisfy every kind of curiosity.
The visit to the farm also includes the dairy that belongs to the farm, where visitors can sample products such as milk, butter or cheese.
Hello, I’m Mrs Owl, and I can be found where reality mixes with the imagination.
Fantastical locations, clear and fresh lake waters, verdant valleys and spacious snow-covered highlands will form the backdrop of your holiday. I love colours, sounds and smells, and like you I need to play, run, try new and exciting experiences and meet new friends.
Hotel Bellavista has chosen me for this very reason, and together we can make every family’s dream come true. I will always be there, and I will keep you company during the day, and from excursions to play time, I will be an unforgettable companion for life and leisure. With my fairy tales and my games, the mini club will be transformed into the “Bottega della Fantasia.”

Family-friendly activities and experiences in the hotel or outdoors
Wonderful walks
Enjoy walks that will allow you to rediscover nature and encourage children to appreciate the beautiful landscapes of Val Rendena with the support of park educators, who can offer detailed explanations on local flora and fauna, or with Mrs Owl.
These “trips” are intended to encourage the children to engage in direct contact with nature, collecting stones with special colours and shapes, pine cones or leaves to be used in the workshops that form part of the “Let’s Have Fun with Nature” programme.
Witch hunt in Val di Genova
In this beautiful valley there is a stream that brings together the water from dozens of large and small waterfalls. Here, children can listen to tales of Belajal (the leader of the Demons) and his faithful Punterol, before gathering together all the natural elements needed to make beautiful souvenir of their adventure for Mum and Dad.
The day of the “witch hunt” is usually preceded by a visit to the Geo Park.
Baby Dance
Baby Dance & Natural Dance. Already very excited about their holiday at the Bellavista Hotel, when the children become restless there’s nothing for it but to jump on the dance floor for musical games.
The baby dance evening is part of our well-established weekly entertainment programme. We look forward to seeing you on the dance floor!
Bottega della Fantasia
What do you really need in order to play? Imagination! As such, we named the hotel’s mini club after this key ingredient of fun, namely the imagination, or “fantasia” in Italian. The Bottega della Fantasia welcomes all children, who are able to give free rein to their creativity in the company of our entertainer.
Visit the beehives
This activity, carried out in collaboration with the local beekeeper, aims to introduce kids to the extraordinary world of bees. During the workshops, wax is used to help create wonderful objects and the children will receive a detailed educational lesson on the “social” organisation of the bees. This is followed by a tasting of the bees’ main product, honey, which is made available by the beekeeper in small glasses so that different types can be tasted.
In order to meet the children’s needs, there is nutella honey, called Miel nocciol, and a honey that tastes like pistachio, Miel pistacchio, offering an alternative to the normal snack.
Pastry chefs for a day
See the kids dressed up like mini-chefs with a hat, apron, rolling pin and all kinds of moulds provided by the hotel so they can learn how to knead and bake cookies.
After washing their hands, they will be provided with everything they need and they can get started with the dough and finally the baking.
Then they wait nervously for mum and dad to arrive at the biscuit tasting.
