Lake Ledro and its surroundings offer a wide choice of walks and hiking trails, with many start points easily reached by public transport (free with the Trentino Guest Card). For an ideal introduction to you resort, walk the 9km perimeter of Lake Ledro, taking in the restored bronze age palafitte houses (on stilts) at the southern end of the lake. The old Ponale Road to Riva is a famous, breathtakingly panoramic downhill walk, and not to be missed - our Representative will be pleased to take you - see Inghams Guided Walks.
POPULAR WALKS include:
Val Concei / 3 hrs / Easy
Walk through the peaceful, remarkably unspoilt beech and pine forest of the Val Concei, keeping an eye out for wild game. Stop at the lovely chalet style Rifugio Al Faggio and refuel with a typical dish of the region before returning. Suitable for all abilities.
Gorg d’Abiss waterfall / 3 hrs / Easy
The ancient roman roads via Tiarno will bring you to the lovely Gorg d’Abiss gorge and waterfall, which over the years has carved a deep canyon through the rocks. Take in the Mulino dei Bugatini watermill en route.
Panoramas of Cime Pari / 6 hrs / Slightly Challenging
For more experienced hikers. From Lenzumo take the cow track to Bocca Saval then follow the First World War trenches to Cima Pari, an ideal spot for lunch as you take in views across Ledro, Lake Garda and the Dolomites beyond. On the descent join the Path of Peace until Rifugio Pernici, for a refreshment.
Please note: Walks are available on a first come first served basis and also subject to
weather conditions. Please register with your Rep on arrival.

GUIDED WANDERWALKS
Ponale Way to Riva / Approx 4 hrs / Easy
The old Ponale track from the southern end of Ledro to Riva del Garda is one of Italy’s most dramatic panoramic walks. Cut through the cliffs above Lake Garda, the views all along this most characteristic descent to Riva are superb. We return from Riva via
public bus.
Botanical Walk to Dromae / Approx 6 hrs / Moderate
From Mezzolago we follow the botanical path towards the gardens of Dromae, taking in First World War Austrian front line trenches en route. Completing the ascent to Dromae’s perfumed meadows of white narcissus and wild peonies, we absorb the stunning views over
Lake Ledro before returning.
