Long-distance hikes in Vallelaghi

The most mountainous stage of the Cammino dei Sette Laghi climbs from Vezzano to Lake Lagolo before descending through villages, woods and farmland to Vigo Cavedine.

From Monte Terlago to Vezzano, a stage through plateaus, forests and stretches of water, passing by the picturesque Lamar Lakes and Lake Terlago.

A five-stage loop through the Valle dei Laghi, among lakes, vineyards, woods, villages and landscapes shaped by both nature and history.

The Cammino di San Vili is named after Saint Vigilio, bishop and patron saint of Trento, who, according to the legend, evangelised the inhabitants of the settlements on this way in the 4th century. The Way runs along the breath-taking mountains of the Brenta Group, reveals wonderful natural landscapes where water and stone intertwine, goes through fascinating villages with ancient traditions and excellent local food.

The Via Vigilius follows in the footsteps of Bishop Vigilius of Trent, who was born in 355 and presumably died around 405 in the Rendena Valley.Vigilius was a missionary in the upper Adige Valley and in the area of Trent as far south as Lake Garda. Thanks to his efforts, new parishes and churches were built. Numerous churches and chapels in the mountains, as well as the little church in San Vigilio, still bear his name. When he went to Val Rendena and threw a statue of Saturn into the river Sarca, he aroused the wrath of the pagans, who killed him, using sticks and wooden clogs. His remains were then taken to Trento to be buried in the cathedral, which he had himself built and where they are still found today. Saint Vigilius is one of the patron saints of South Tyrol, Trentino and also the patron saint of mines. His name derives from Latin and means vigilant. The Bishop's footsteps can often be found along the Via Vigilius, such as the small church of San Vigilio at the mountain of the same name, the pilgrimage site Senale, the sanctuary of San Romedio, and then down the Via Villi, where the Bishop passed for the last time before arriving in Val Rendena.

The Via Vigilius follows in the footsteps of Bishop Vigilius of Trento, who was born around 355 and probably died in the Trentino Rendena Valley around 405. Vigilius mainly worked as a missionary in the upper Adige Valley and travelled the wider area around Trento as far as southern Lake Garda. Many new parishes were founded through his efforts and many sacred buildings were erected on his initiative. Numerous churches and mountain chapels, such as the little church on the Vigiljoch, still bear his name today. When he destroyed a statue of Saturn in the Rendena Valley, he was beaten to death with clubs and clogs by angry residents. Vigilius was buried in the cathedral he built in Trento, where an ornate reliquary can still be found. St Vigilius is one of the patron saints of South Tyrol and Trentino, as well as the patron saint of mines. His name comes from Latin and means the vigilant one. Along the Via Vigilius, you will come across traces of the bishop time and again. You walk past the Vigiljocher church, stop off at the pilgrimage site of Our Lady of the Woods, pass the San Romedio monastery and descend at the end of the tour via Via Vili, which roughly follows the route that Bishop Vigilius of Trento took to Val Rendena, where he was then stoned to death.

The fifth and final stage of the Cammino dei Sette Laghi leads from Pietramurata to Sarche, along the River Sarca, through vineyards, ancient waterways and the shores of Lake Toblino.

Alpine crossing in 11 stages. The Alps Traverse Gemellato (ATG) is a shorter variant of the long-distance trail Rosenheim – Lazise. It is a good alternative to the often crowded E5 if you want to do an alpine crossing once. Alpine crossings have existed in several variants for many years. Here are the currently best-known routes: “E5” (Oberstdorf/ Meran) “Traumpfad” (Munich/ Venice) “L” (Garmisch/ Brescia) “L1S” (Walchensee/ Iseo Lake) L1 variant "L1S" “GTA” (Grießpass/ Ventimiglia) “Munich-Garda Lake” (Munich/ Garda Lake) “Via Alpina: Yellow Route” (Oberstdorf/ Trieste) “Via Alpina: Red Route” (Oberstdorf/ Trieste) “Alpe Adria Trail” (Großglockner/ Muggia) New: “Alps Traverse Gemellato" ATG (Rosenheim/ Lazise). The multi-day route "ATG" is a variant (shorter distances, more days) of the “long-distance trail Rosenheim – Lazise“.
