The hike up to hut San Pietro is one of the most popular for locals as well as for tourists for its ease of access, excellent cuisine and spectacular panoramic views of Lake Garda

This hike takes you to discover some of the wonders of the Tenno area.

It starts from Canale di Tenno, one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Italy. Here, among alleys and old stone houses, time really seems to stand still. Going into the woods you go up the slopes of Calino, up to Bastiani. From here, in a few minutes you reach the mountain hut San Pietro, located on a natural terrace that offers a spectacular view of the Upper lake Garda area.

The hut is one of the favorite destinations in Garda Trentino, because it is easily accessible also by car. If you plan to eat here, remember to book!

On the way back, the path leads to the shores of Lake Tenno, famous for the extraordinary blue color of its waters. In summer, a stop for a refreshing dip is a must, before reaching the starting point of the hike.

You can hike this tour (almost) all year round, but remember to check the status of paths as well as the opening of the hut San Pietro. 

Next to the hut, there is the small church of San Pietro, once a hermitage and a place of pilgrimage, which can be visited and is still consecrated today.
