The Sentiero Frassati in Trentino unfolds over seven legs, from the church of the Madonna delle Grazie to the Sanctuary of San Romedio, along dirts roads, paths and mule tracks suitable to all hikers.

The first leg stretches from the Church of the Madonna delle Grazie to Rifugio San Pietro, which terrace offers one of the most beautiful views over Lake Garda. The first flat stretch unfolds through the village of Varone, starting point of the ascent towards Tenno, with views of its 12th century castle towering above. The last section of the route leads up to Calvola at the foot of Monte Calino and stops at Rifugio San Pietro and the nearby little church.

The Sentiero Frassati is dedicated to the mountain loving Blessed Piergiorgio Frassati. A little curiosity: each Italian region has its own Frassati Path.
