Safety advice

1. Choose routes suitable to your physical and technical abilities. Gather information about the area you will visit and the path conditions and get a detailed trekking map.
2. Wear clothes and carry equipment suitable for the difficulty and length of your route. Carry emergency equipment in your backpack, including a first aid kit.
3. Do not go alone in the mountains. In any case, inform someone where you are going and let them know when you return.
4. Check the weather forecast before you leave and always keep an eye on the weather.
5. In case of doubt, turn back. It is better to give up than to risk bad weather or face difficulties beyond your strength, abilities and equipment.
6. Do not leave marked trails and do not take shortcuts.
7. All described walks take place in a natural environment and therefore use them at your own risk.

Attention! Along this route there is a short via ferrata section: you must be equipped with a via ferrata set, helmet and harness. There are also some particularly exposed sections along SAT 413 that must be tackled maintaining a safe pace. The length of the route and the above-mentioned difficulties make it suitable only for experienced hikers with a good level of physical fitness.

From the center of Riva, take the path that leads to the Bastion and then follow the signs for the SAT 402 route that leads to the village of Campi, continues to the alpine hut Grassi, and finally climbs up to the Nino Pernici Refuge. Here you should plan to stay overnight.

For the descent, take the panoramic path SAT 413 that leads to Bocca Giumella, passing along Bocca Saval and Campigolo. After the pass, take the path SAT 417, which climbs to the summit of Cima Valdes and then reconnects with the SAT 413 up to Bochet dei Concoli. Then descend on the steep path SAT 404 towards Santa Barbara: right next to the church you will find a vertical ladder that must only be descended while securely attached. From here continue to the small church and proceed back to Riva del Garda.

The main towns of Garda Trentino - Riva del Garda, Arco, Torbole sul Garda, Nago – are connected by various urban and suburban lines that will take you to the starting point of the routes or nearby.

You can also reach Riva del Garda and Torbole sul Garda with public ferry service.

You need to wear the right clothing and carry the appropriate equipment when hiking in the mountains. Even during relatively short and easy outings, make sure to take everything necessary to avoid problems if things take an unexpected turn, for example if a storm breaks out or you experience a sudden drop in energy.

What should you bring when you go hiking?

Your backpack (for a day hike, a capacity of 25/30L should suffice) should contain:

• water bottle (1L)
• snacks (for example mixed dried fruit or chocolate)
• first aid kit
• windbreaker jacket
• fleece
• change of T-shirt and socks (in a plastic bag)
• make sure to wear or at least bring a pair of long pants
• hat
• sunscreen
• sun glasses
• gloves
• whistle to attract attention in case of emergency

Make sure to wear the right footwear for the trail and the season. The terrain can become rough and rocky and a pair of boots will protect you from sprains. If the terrain is wet, a grassy slope, a rock slab or a steep path can be dangerous unless you wear appropriate footwear.

And finally... don’t forget the camera! You will need it to capture the stunning views you will encounter all over Garda Trentino. And if you want, you can share your memories with us on #GardaTrentino.
