From Limone sul Garda to Riva del Garda via the Pregasina Ridges

DESCRIPTION
Fantastic route on the western Garda mountains.
The excursion we present offers you a unique experience, exploring the beauty of Alto Garda, Riva del Garda and Limone sul Garda. The departure takes place in the early morning from Riva del Garda, allowing participants to enjoy an extraordinary panoramic view of the entire Trentino Alto Garda region during the boat trip. Once you arrive in Limone sul Garda, an authentic pearl set on the shores of the lake, the walking route begins. It should be underlined that the proposed itinerary presents a certain challenge, both in terms of length and altitude difference. However, the effort will be amply rewarded by a spectacular panorama that is offered to the eyes of visitors.
The return to Riva del Garda will prove equally fascinating, crossing the famous Strada del Ponale, renowned for its extraordinary beauty. In this way, the entire excursion is transformed into an unforgettable experience of discovery, in which fatigue dissolves in the face of the magnificence of the surrounding landscapes.
