Directions
From the bridge over the Sarca River, follow the cycle-pedestrian path along the river northwards until reaching the Moletta locality near a bike grill. Leave the cycle-pedestrian path to enter the village on the right and reach the state road: on the opposite side, take the SAT trail 667 "della Maestra" which climbs in a zigzag along a small road up the Vastrè promontory to Case Caproni.
At the top of the promontory, it is possible, with a short detour to the right, to visit the system of trenches dating back to the First World War, recently brought to light. From Case Caproni, the path goes into the Oolite Caves: now descend southwards, sometimes entering the deep cavities left by the quarrying activity. Along the large overhangs, it is possible to see some climbers scaling some of the most difficult walls in the world. The trail ends at a hairpin bend at the foot of one of the most famous climbing cliffs of Garda Trentino, the Policromuro di Massone.
Now descend along the paved road amid olive trees, pass a crossroads on the right, and continue straight until you reach a road climbing to the left, which, through the olive grove, reaches the village of Massone from the east. Then take a narrow paved road to the left between stone walls, which you immediately leave by taking an unpaved road to the left. First, you skirt the slopes of the ridge descending from Monte Stivo, then cross its cone cultivated with vineyards and olive groves. Reaching the paved road near the Capitello delle Quattro Facce, descend towards the village of Bolognano, always keeping right and passing near the cemetery and the church of San Floriano. Reach and cross the centre of the village southwards to reach Vignole and cross the state road near the Everest hotel.
Just beyond, near the small cemetery, turn right and cross the Pratosaiano plain cultivated with orchards along the paved road. Continue always on the main road heading south (Lake Garda). After a crossroads, 300 meters later, take an unpaved road to the left and, after a small bridge, merge onto a parallel road that soon turns into an unpaved track and, cutting the slope overlooking the last stretch of the Sarca's course, climbs towards the village of Nago.
The unpaved road ends near the car park close to the glacial wells called Marmitte dei Giganti. On the opposite side, near a kiosk, begins the unpaved road that leads to the roundabout at the start of the village of Nago. Climb a short staircase on the right and then, continuing to the right, reach the ruins of Castel Penede. From here, return towards the village centre on the opposite side of the ascent and, still keeping right, reach a crossroads. Turning right leads you to the ancient Strada di Santa Lucia that takes you to Torbole, from where, following the cycle-pedestrian path along the lake, you return to Riva del Garda.
The route is marked with signs reading "GardaTrek Low Loop".
