Following the SAT 401—Sentiero Frassati—the route leads through Calvola and Tenno to the spectacular Varone Waterfall.

One of the most beautiful routes in Limone sul Garda. For all those curious about the spectacular panorama bike and hiking path that will one day lead from the old town all the way to Riva del Garda.
The route includes two small detours from the main trail: From Hotel Eala, we walk a bit above the road on the "Sentiero del Sole" through light forest to the World War I shooting positions, which prominently overlook the lake. We also visit the waterfall "Cascata di Sopino." A little natural spectacle!
