DESCRIPTION
This itinerary will take you on one of the most beautiful and panoramic routes of Monte Baldo.
Those who love alpine views cannot miss this opportunity. During the excursion you will have the opportunity to see Lake Garda in its entirety and also enjoy the view of the beautiful mountains, especially in the Trentino area, that surround the lake.
The Sentiero del Ventrar is classified by the CAI for EE (expert hikers), therefore it requires a minimum of physical training and is not suitable for too small children or for people suffering from vertigo. It is advisable to avoid hiking in the winter in the snow, because it is too dangerous.
