Safety Tips

1. Choose itineraries according to your physical and technical abilities, informing yourself about the area to visit, the usability of the paths, and equipping yourself with the proper hiking map.
2. Provide suitable clothing and equipment for the effort and length of the hike and carry in your backpack what is needed for possible emergencies and a first aid kit.
3. It is advisable not to undertake a mountain hike alone. In any case, tell someone the itinerary you plan to follow and inform them of your return.
4. Check weather forecasts and constantly observe weather changes.
5. When in doubt, turn back. Sometimes it is better to give up than to find yourself in difficulty due to bad weather or having dealt with difficulties beyond your strength, abilities, or equipment.
6. Avoid unnecessarily leaving the path and taking shortcuts.
7. All listed routes develop in a natural environment. Walking them means accepting the risk associated with practicing a sport outdoors.

The information contained in this sheet is subject to unavoidable changes, so no indication has absolute value.

It is recommended, however, to verify the state of places and environmental or weather conditions before starting a hike.

The 5 km loop route starts from the "al Calvario" parking lot at the beginning of the road that climbs from Arco to Laghel. In the first part, the path crosses the olive slopes of the "Fontanelle" before running under the vertical walls of the "Bus de la Stria" and reaching the foot of the Placche del Baone. A short stretch of steeper path allows you to reach the top of the rocky slide that you follow, while the view opens onto the entire Garda Trentino basin. Once you reach the Sorgenti di Moline area, you return to Arco crossing the Romarzolo olive grove, passing at the foot of the climbing cliff of the Placche di Baone.

The main centers of Garda Trentino - Riva del Garda, Arco, Torbole sul Garda, Nago - are connected by various urban and suburban bus lines, which allow access to the trailheads.

Riva del Garda and Torbole sul Garda can also be reached by public navigation services.

Mountain hikes require specific clothing and equipment. Even for relatively short and easy outings, it is always best to be well equipped to avoid unpleasant surprises and to face unexpected events such as a sudden thunderstorm or a drop in energy.

What to bring for a mountain trekking?

In your backpack (for a day hike, a 25/30L bag is normally recommended) it is good to bring:

• water bottle (1L)
• snacks (e.g., dried fruit or chocolate)
• first aid kit
• windbreaker jacket
• fleece sweater
• spare t-shirt and socks (preferably in a plastic bag)
• worn or at least brought in the backpack a pair of long pants
• hat
• sunscreen
• sunglasses
• gloves
• whistle to be located in case of emergency

Wear suitable footwear for the path and season. The trail surface can be uneven or rough and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains. A grassy slope, a rock slab, or a steep trail when wet can become dangerous without proper footwear.

Finally... don’t forget the camera! It will be useful to capture the hike and the countless breathtaking views that Garda Trentino hides at every corner. If you want to share your memories with us, you can use the hashtag #GardaTrentino
