Mountaineering in Lago di Ledro

The Scenic Mountains of Lake Garda On the second day of our four-day hike, we set out from Lake Ledro and make our way through the tranquil Val di Dromaè up into the Ledro Alps. Above Malga Dromaè, the most spectacular section of the stage begins: via the scenic ridge featuring Cima Sclapa and Cima Parì, we reach the Rifugio Nino Pernici.

Up the Old Trails to Lake TennoFrom Riva del Garda, the Ponaleweg trail climbs steeply into the mountains above Lake Garda.

Ledro Trek Medium is a two-day trek along mountainside trails overlooking Lake Ledro. Highlights of the first stage: Wonderful views of Lake Ledro, village centre of Pieve, Monte Cocca, Madonnina di Besta, sanctuary of the Madonna de le ferle.

Start from the Tourist Office in Pieve. We enter the village, we turn into Via Rabaglia and we take the SAT 454 path. At the first bend, instead of continuing along the numbered path, we take the path on the right. We walk along this path to Mezzolago and then we continue downhill along Via Dromaè. After a few hundred metres we take the path on the left and we get into the wood. At the top of the ascent we turn right, and we start walking along a flat path. As we reach For di Bella, in sight of a hut, we take the left path and we resume the uphill climb until we reach the forestry road. Before the bend we take the path on the right and we start the descent towards Molina. At the fork with the path leading to the Madonnina we suggest you make a little detour to enjoy the wonderful view. Once we reach the asphalt, we walk downhill along Via dei Colli to the Pile-Dwellings Museum. We walk along the lake and at the limestone kiln we take the path on the left and we start walking uphill in the wood. We follow the path to Pur and we reach Via Casarino. We turn right and the fork we turn left into the road leading to Malga Cita. We reach the start of Ledro Land Art, we enter the pinewood, we cross the dry torrent bed and we start walking uphill. We reach the forestry road and then we turn right. We continue along the forestry road and we reach Via al Roccolo and we start our descent to Pieve, first along the road and then along the bike path.

Dromaè is among the most beautiful spots in Valle di Ledro, particularly late in the Spring. Green meadows, unparalleled views over the Lake, wild flowers and historical traces  make for a spectacular walk.

Route which leads up to the top of Monte Cocca, offering a beautiful view over Lake Ledro and the villages on the valley floor.

One doesn’t need to climb the mountains of Valle di Ledro to enjoy a breathtaking view over Lake Ledro. The Madonnina of Besta dominates the village below and encompasses at a glance the whole of Lake Ledro.

Woods, malghe, meadows with expanses of daffodils and peonies in bloom, Austrian trenches and breathtaking views over Lake Ledro are all to be found along the path that leads to Dromaè and Cima d’Oro (i.e. Golden Summit), which owes its name to the colour it takes at sunset.
