Cammino dei Sette Laghi - Stage 2: Monte Terlago/Vezzano
-
Photo: VisitTrentino TGP
From Monte Terlago, the route crosses the grassy Prada plateau at the foot of Paganella, whose steep slopes and striking rock faces dominate the landscape. Shortly afterwards, the trail reaches the Laghi di Lamar, two small lakes surrounded by beech and conifer woods and ideal for a break along the way.
Forest roads then lead over the wooded ridge of Selva Faeda and down towards Lake Terlago, a karst lake whose water level naturally changes over time.
After passing through Terlago, a village rich in historical, artistic and architectural heritage, the route continues gently southwards. Fields, orchards and a section of cycle and pedestrian path accompany the final kilometres to Vezzano, the destination of the second stage.

Safety information
Safety Tips1. Choose itineraries that suit your physical and technical abilities. Collect information about the area you are visiting and the trail’s conditions and get a detailed trekking map.
2. Wear clothes and take equipment that suit the difficulty and length of your tour. Keep emergency gear in your rucksack, including first aid supplies.
3. Do not go walking alone in the mountains. In any case, tell someone where you are going and report back on returning.
4. Look at the weather forecast before setting off and always keep an eye on the weather.
5. In case of doubt, go back. It is better to give up than risk bad weather or face difficulties beyond your strength, ability and equipment.
6. Do not leave marked paths and do not take shortcuts.
7. All described walks are in a natural environment and therefore their use is at your own risk.
This information is subject to inevitable variations, so none of these indications are absolute. It is not entirely possible to avoid giving inexact or imprecise information, given how quickly environmental and weather conditions can change. For this reason, we decline any responsibility for changes which the user may encounter. In any case, it is advisable to check environment and weather conditions before setting out.
Roadbook
Enter the woods and continue to a crossroads. Turn right onto a somewhat steep but safe downhill path. This leads to Malga Bassa di Terlago, currently closed, and then to the car park between Lake Lamar and Lake Santo.
Turn right here, following the Cammino marker, and continue along the pedestrian path beside the lake. At the end of the lake, cross the provincial road and enter the meadow opposite, walking uphill for about 100 metres.
At the top of the meadow, turn right and follow a comfortable forest road. At a large beech tree, turn left uphill until you reach another forest road, then turn right towards Le Vallene.
Shortly before the campsites, a marker indicates a left turn into the woods. Follow this trail towards Terlago. In this section, pay close attention to the route markers: stickers and the symbol of a flower with seven blue petals painted on some stones.
About halfway along the trail, you reach a junction. Continue straight ahead, leaving the main path that descends to the right. Reach the Portatori Bassi forest road, turn right and continue to the next junction.
Here, turn left onto a narrow but safe downhill path until you reach the Monte Piana forest road. Turn right and continue towards Lake Terlago.
Just above the lake, you reach a large open area. Keep right until the first junction, then turn left onto a fairly steep downhill path, following the Cammino marker. Once you reach the lakeshore, turn right and head towards the bar at the Lido.
From the Lido, keep right and enter the village of Terlago, continuing to the main church. After the church, turn left, pass under the archway, then turn right and right again to reach the cycle path towards Vezzano.
After leaving the village, follow the Ciclovia dei Laghi to a junction. Turn right onto a country lane running alongside a dry-stone wall and a berry field. At the end of the straight section, turn left and immediately right, continuing through the apple orchards. At the end of the road, turn left to rejoin the cycle path.
Those who prefer to avoid the country lane through the orchards can simply remain on the cycle path and continue directly towards Vezzano.
The second stage ends in the main square of Vezzano, by the Church of Santi Vigilio e Valentino.

Equipment
You need to wear the right clothing and take the proper gear when you go hiking in the mountains. Even on relatively short easy outings make sure to take all you need so you don't run into trouble if things take an unexpected turn, for example a storm blows up or you have a sudden drop in energy levels.What should you take when you go on a hike?
Your rucksack (for a day trip a 25/30L capacity should do) should contain:
- water canteen (1L)
- snacks (e.g. mixed dried fruit or chocolate)
- First aid kit
- windproof jacket
- fleece
- change of t-shirt and socks (in a plastic bag)
- make sure to wear or at least bring a pair of long trousers
- hat
- sun screen
- sunglasses
- gloves
- whistle to attract attention in an emergency
Make sure you're wearing the right footwear for the trail and season. The going can get rough and rocky underfoot and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains. When wet, a grassy slope, rocky slab or steep trail can be dangerous unless you are wearing the proper footwear.
And finally... don't forget to bring your camera! You'll need it to capture the stunning views you come across all over Garda Trentino. And if you like, you can share your memories with us at #GardaTrentino.
