Scenic walk on mixed terrain between asphalt and rocky slabs, with views of the Val di Gresta, Lake Garda, and Vallagarina.
You park the car at Passo Bordala and then start for a not too demanding walk that leads to Monte Biaena. Initially, the road is paved, passing a few meadows and then taking a forest road entering the woods with a path. Upon reaching some rocky slabs, you can enjoy the view of Monte Stivo, Val di Gresta, and in the background Lake Garda. After passing the "Capanna Monte Biaena" refuge, here are the meadows at the summit, at 1618 m altitude. Once at the top, the view opens over Vallagarina and its mountains.

Path not recommended on the hottest days. In spring the meadows bloom, with peonies and anemones the view is priceless.
Safety Tips
The information contained in this sheet is subject to inevitable changes, so no indication has absolute value. It is not possible to completely avoid inaccuracies or imprecisions, considering the rapid environmental or weather changes that may take place. In this respect, we disclaim all responsibility for any changes experienced by the user. It is recommended, however, to check the state of the places and the environmental or weather conditions before undertaking a hike.
The first section of the route starting from Passo Bordala and leading to the summit of Monte Biaena is characterized by a first paved and flat part, while the last stretch consists of 300 meters of elevation gain over a short distance of two km. You can return (with the proper equipment and preparation) via the via ferrata path 673 that descends to Malga Somator, otherwise by the route just climbed.
The Valle di Gresta area is reachable from other Garda Trentino centers via the extra-urban bus line 332 (Rovereto - Mori - Riva del Garda - Arco - Bolognano).
Once you reach the Mori stop, we suggest continuing with a shuttle that will take you to Passo Bordala.

Mountain hikes require specific clothing and equipment. Even on relatively short and easy outings, it is always better to be well equipped to avoid unpleasant surprises and to cope with unforeseen events such as, for example, a sudden thunderstorm or loss of energy.
What to bring for a mountain trek?
In the backpack (for a day hike, usually a 25/30L is recommended) it is good to bring:
Wear suitable footwear for the route and the season. The trail surface can be irregular or uneven and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains. A grassy slope, a rock slab, or a steep path, if wet, can become dangerous without proper footwear.
Finally... do not forget the camera! It will be useful to capture the hike and the countless breathtaking views that Garda Trentino hides around every corner. If you want to share your memories with us, you can use the hashtag #GardaTrentino
