Sentiero del Ponale (da Riva del Garda)

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.

Points of interest:

• Breathtaking views of Lake Garda
• The Tagliata del Ponale (historical fortification)
• Belvedere with refreshment point (seasonal)

Useful tips:

• Wear appropriate hiking shoes
• Bring water and snacks
• Pay attention to biker traffic
• Check the weather conditions before leaving

The path is suitable for families and children, but still requires a minimum of physical preparation. For those wishing to extend the route, it is possible to continue towards the Ledro Valley or the village of Pregasina.
