The “Potato Path” starts at Vigo Lomaso, just below the parish church of San Lorenzo, at the San Rocco shrine opposite a convenient parking area. Follow the small road leading to the church and, turning around the building, continue to follow the road towards Poia. After about 1 km, just before entering the village, the “Potato Path” turns left towards Campo Lomaso. Upon reaching Campo Lomaso, continue for a few hundred meters along the sidewalk, passing the former town hall with its characteristic portico. Then, crossing the road, continue towards the former Franciscan Convent and, following the country lane that passes in front of the building, cross the Lomaso Plain. At the end of the plain, turning left, you reach the village of Dasindo with the birthplace of Giovanni Prati and the church dedicated to the Assumption. After a tour of the village, you find yourself back on the provincial road passing in front of COPAG, the Cooperative of Giudicariesi Producers where local potato productions converge, and after about 700 m, return to the starting point at Vigo Lomaso.
Vigo Lomaso is connected to other Garda Trentino centers by the extra-urban bus line 211 (Riva del Garda - Tenno - Fiavè - Ponte Arche).
From Ponte Arche/Comano Terme, follow the SS 421 and at Vigo Lomaso enter the village and follow the road towards the church.
