Hike to Cima Parì
Let’s start with a proper hike to the summit of Cima Parì at 1,988 metres, boasting unparalleled views of Lake Garda. The classic route begins in Pieve di Ledro, following trail 454 to Bocca di Saval, then winding through vineyards to reach the prominent peak. On the way back, you can stop off at the scenic Nino Pernici Refuge.
Punta Larici
For a less demanding hike with equally spectacular vistas of Lake Garda, consider Punta Larici. Start your hike in Pregasina, at the beginning of Valle di Ledro, heading towards Malga Palaer and then the summit. On the way back, you can take a detour via the Rocchetta Pass.
Madonnina di Besta
Even easier: enjoy a short hike to the Madonnina di Besta along a paved road that crosses through woods and then meadows, leading to the small Madonna statue. From here, the view of Lake Ledro is fantastic, making it a suitable walk for the whole family.
La Ponale Descent
Embark on a scenic downhill trek, perhaps en route to Riva del Garda, offering breathtaking vistas with minimal exertion. Begin your adventure along the historic mule track connecting Valle di Ledro to Riva del Garda, then follow the picturesque Strada del Ponale, reserved exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists, overlooking Lake Garda.
