The Dolomites: A Journey Through Trentino

I travelled for 2 weeks through the region of Trentino in Italy, exploring the different lakes, villages and mountains, finishing up with hiking at The Dolomites.
Travelling to somewhere slightly more off the beaten path in Italy, this travel documentary covers my entire experience.
Starting off in the town of Trento, I got to visit various waterfalls, mines, and even a scenic helicopter ride.
Following this I travelled to Levico Terme to go sailing and paddle boarding on the lake.
Then I travelled to the area of San Martino di Castrozza, concluding the trip hiking right by The Dolomites mountains at Baita Segantini.
Also thanks once again to Charlie Keep for helping out with the filming and providing the additional footage for this film.
