Pichea, Tofino, Doss de la Torta, Gavardina, Corno dei Guì, Corno di Lomar, Roda, Cadria. When the ‘Giro delle cime’ (i.e., the peak route) is mentioned in the Ledro valley, it certainly refers to these mountains, the highest in the Ledro valley.
This very demanding route connects the mountains surrounding Concei in a crown shape. Above 2,000 m the vegetation gives way to meadows and the view can naturally roam freely. To the west is Adamello, to the north the Brenta group, and to the south stretches the Ledro valley. Breathtaking views for an unforgettable experience.

Recommendation: complete the route on a clear day to best enjoy the panorama! Every mountain has its own story and identity. Monte Cadria, at 2,254 m, is the highest mountain in the Ledro valley. According to legend, a magical creature lives on Monte Gavardina, considered the guardian of the valley, a fairy named Gavardina.
Safety Tips
All information is subject to change regularly; no information claims absolute accuracy. Inaccuracies and inconsistencies cannot be completely avoided as environmental and climatic conditions continuously change. Therefore, no liability is assumed for any changes encountered by the user. It is strongly recommended to obtain information about the state of the paths and places as well as environmental and weather conditions before every hike.
Attention! The section between Monte Cadria and Malga Cadria is particularly exposed (EEA: Only for experienced hikers).
From Perigol take the SAT 402 path to Bocca Trat. Then follow the SAT 420 path towards Corno di Pichea and Monte Tofino and descend to Bocchetta dei Slavazì. Shortly before Doss de la Torta, the SAT 420 path joins the SAT 455 path, which goes up to the summit of Monte Gavardina and then down to Bocca dell’Ussol, passing Corno di Guil and Corno di Lomar, and then up to Monte Roda. After Bocca dei Tortavai, the last ascent leads to the summit of Monte Cadria, the roof of the Ledro valley. From the summit, follow the SAT 423 path to Malga Cadria and then descend through the valley, passing Malga Vies down to the valley floor. From the area of Ex-Centrale, follow the paved road to the area of Vedravì and then turn left towards Rifugio Al Faggio. In the area of Palò, at the sign 'Piste sci da fondo', enter Val Sorda and return to Perigol, the starting point.
The Ledro valley is connected to Riva del Garda by regional transport via bus line 214 (Riva-Valle di Ledro-Storo). The nearest stop to the route is "Lenzumo" and then 3 km on foot to the starting point.
Exit the Brenner motorway at Rovereto Sud – Lago di Garda. Follow the SS240 della Val di Ledro to Pieve di Ledro. Pass Lenzumo and turn right at the sign 'Piste sci da fondo'.
Parking in the locality of Perigol.
Mountain routes require special clothing and equipment. Even on shorter and easier hikes, you should always have everything necessary with you to avoid unpleasant surprises and be prepared for emergencies, such as sudden thunderstorms or an abrupt drop in fitness.
What you should definitely have on trekking tours in the mountains?
In your backpack (for day trips, a backpack with 25-30 liters storage is usually recommended):
Footwear suitable for the terrain and season. Many paths are uneven and rough. Shoes should cover the ankle to provide good support and protect against strains and sprains. Especially grassy slopes, rock slabs, or steep paths can quickly become dangerous slippery surfaces when wet without appropriate footwear.
And of course, don’t forget... A camera with which you can immortalize your route in pictures. This way, you can also take home as a souvenir the unique panorama you can enjoy in every corner of Garda Trentino. If you want to share your memories with us: hashtag #GardaTrentino.
