Getting to the Brenta Dolomites without a car: a complete guide to public transport 2026
Getting to the Brenta Dolomites without a car: a complete guide to public transport 2026
From 27 June 2026, the Paganella Bye Bye Car service launches: the first integrated mobility system connecting Trento to the Brenta Dolomites with no need for a private car. Casa dei Pariani and Masadega dei Pariani are fully covered by this network — your guests can leave the car at home (or in a garage in Trento) and get around freely for the whole holiday.
Here is the complete guide.

Why Come Without a Car
Beyond the lower environmental impact — the Brenta Dolomites are a fragile, protected landscape — travelling without a car means:
- No stress from traffic and parking (particularly in July and August)
- Complete freedom to move around without worrying about driving after dinner
- Savings on fuel, motorway tolls and parking
- A more genuine feel for the area
Casa dei Pariani is proud to support the Altopiano della Paganella’s sustainable transport project.
