The Old “Pinza” Road: A Dive into the History of Garda Trentino

Immerse yourself in a hike that takes you back in time along the old “Pinza” road, a historic route connecting Bocca di Trat to Riva del Garda. This itinerary, identified by the SAT 402 trail marker, offers a unique experience between nature and history.

  • Route: Ideal for those wishing to return to Riva del Garda after the first stage of the Garda Trek, the path is mainly downhill, crossing the picturesque village of Campi and immersing yourself in the surrounding woods.
  • Historical Interest: Don’t miss the detour to the archaeological site of San Martino, reachable via the Garda Trek Medium Loop. Here you can discover a pre-Roman place of worship transformed into a Roman sanctuary, with a monumental staircase still accessible.
  • Nature and Landscape: Enjoy the beauty of the woods, the wooden sculptures along the path, and the panoramic views of Lake Garda.
  • Refreshment Points: Possibility to taste the typical Trentino cuisine at Capanna Grassi, a short distance from Rifugio Pernici.

Starting point: Rifugio Nino Pernici – Bocca di Trat.
