Selected alternatives for you
    An interesting excursion in the Lower Sarca area for the opportunity to visit the former oolite quarry and to enjoy panoramic views offering suggestive glimpses of the northern part of Lake Garda and the valley countryside up to Lake Calavino.

    The trail is named after the route that the teacher Ketty Tantardini Bombardelli took every day, at the beginning of the last century, to reach the village of Braila where she taught at the elementary school, starting from DRO. Today the route bearing her name is much longer, as it starts from the outskirts of Arco, climbs to the top of Dosso Grande, and descends to Dro passing near the village of Braila. The excursion can be done all year round but is not recommended in case of snow. Some sections are equipped with metal wire rope.

    Author’s recommendation

    Visit the oolite quarries and bring a torch.

    Roadbook

    The route starts from the Moletta locality of Arco (94 m) and follows trail no. 667. After about 45 minutes of walking, you reach the Case Caproni (302 m) – located within the Caproni Wood – near the oolite quarries. Continue along the same trail, walk a short stretch of paved road, then return to the woods and ascend to Dosso Grande (582 m). Now descend and near the hamlet of Braila, take a short stretch of paved road before rejoining trail 667. This section is the actual path the teacher used to take – a section with EEA difficulty. Descend until you reach the valley, then return to the starting point following the Garda Sarca Loop signage towards Riva del Garda.
