Ponale Path: An Icon of Garda Trentino

The Ponale Path is the most famous and popular route in Garda Trentino, a true must-see for visitors. This path winds along the cliffside overlooking the lake, offering spectacular views and unforgettable glimpses at every turn.

Once a roadway, the Ponale was transformed into a cycle and pedestrian path in 2004, becoming an unmissable attraction for hikers and mountain bike enthusiasts. Along the way, you can admire the remains of the Tagliata del Ponale, an imposing Austrian fortification dating back to 1860.
