In the Ahrntal valley, located in the Italian region of South Tyrol, the 'Såndgøld Alpine Glamping' has opened. The project was realized by architect Benedikt Wieser and designer Adrian Vogel. The site includes 50 camping pitches, eight wooden chalets on stilts, some with whirlpools, and floating tents on rafts. A central 'Greenhouse' building houses a bar, bistro, and fireplace lounge. Prices: pitch from €12 per person per night, floating tent from €50, chalet from €90.
The environmental association GrIG has filed a request for information and measures regarding the advertised opening of a new camper stopover area at Capo Pecora (Sardinia). The site is a Special Conservation Zone (ZSC) under the Natura 2000 network and a zone of integral conservation under the regional landscape plan, where stopovers are prohibited. The request was sent to the Ministries of Environment and Culture, the Sardinia Region, the Regional Environmental Impact Assessment Service, the Superintendence for Architecture and Landscape of Cagliari, and the Municipality of Arbus.

In Sicily, motorhome trips to high-altitude areas, particularly Mount Etna, are popular. The route starts from the Mons Gibel Camping Park (Belpasso, 550 m) and leads to the Piano Provenzana parking lot (1810 m), covering about 58 km with an elevation gain of 1260 m. This is followed by a 4×4 ride (18 km round trip) and a 4–5 km hike with a 450–500 m elevation difference to about 3300 m. The excursion lasts 4–5 hours, difficulty moderate (E). Cost is 120–140 euros per person. Above 2800–2900 m, a volcanological guide is mandatory; access may be restricted during heightened activity.
