GardaTrek: An Alpine Ascent from Riva del Garda to Rifugio Pernici

Immerse yourself in an unforgettable adventure with the first stage of the GardaTrek, a route that takes you from the Mediterranean shores of Riva del Garda to the Alpine ridge dividing Garda Trentino from the Ledro Valley. This challenging itinerary will reward you with breathtaking views and a unique experience.

Starting from the heart of Riva del Garda (65 m), you’ll immediately face a steep climb on the SAT 418 trail, quickly gaining altitude on the slopes of Monte Rocchetta. The effort will be richly rewarded by the panoramic views that open up along the way.

The absence of refreshment points along the route requires adequate preparation: make sure you have enough water and snacks with you to tackle the entire hike. Near the Rifugio Pernici (1600 m), you can explore the trenches and testimonies of the First World War, which testify to the strategic importance of this area.

The Rifugio Pernici, once an officers’ mess during the conflict, will welcome you with its warm hospitality and the opportunity to enjoy a delicious potato polenta, ideal for recovering energy after the walk.
