Safety Tips
The information contained in this sheet is subject to inevitable changes; therefore, no indication has absolute value. It is not possible to completely avoid inaccuracies or errors due to the rapidity of environmental or weather changes that may occur. In this sense, we disclaim any responsibility for changes suffered by the user. However, it is recommended to check the state of places and environmental or weather conditions before undertaking a hike.
From the locality Pregasina, follow the forest path (Strada Palaer) towards "Bocca Larici." Follow the signs for trail 422B towards "Malga Palaer" and "Bocca Larici." You reach the pass at 907m altitude and continue towards Malga Palaer always on trail 422B.
You reach the beautiful meadow of the hut at 946m altitude. Behind it, you can notice the "green" ridge of Cima Nara. Continue further on trail 422B ascending to "Passo Rocchetta" (1159m) and then to "Prati di Guil" (1240m).
At Prati di Guil, leave trail 422B and take, on the right, the marking 430. With a beautiful and panoramic walk, you arrive at Cima Nara in about one hour of walking. The view of Lake Garda is very beautiful.
You return by the ascent route or by making a loop passing through Cima Al Bal on trails 430, 429, and 422.
The Ledro Valley is connected to Riva del Garda by the suburban bus line 214 (Riva-Valle di Ledro-Storo).
From Riva del Garda, continue towards Ledro Valley. After the first tunnel, turn left and proceed to Pregasina following the signs.
Parking near the Church of Pregasina.
Mountain hikes require specific clothing and equipment. Even for relatively short and easy outings, it is always better to be well equipped to avoid unpleasant surprises and to face unexpected events such as a sudden storm or a loss of energy.
What to bring for a mountain trekking?
In the backpack (for a day hike, a 25/30L bag is usually recommended) you should bring:
Wear footwear suitable for the route and the season. The trail surface can be uneven or rough, and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains. A grassy slope, a rock slab, or a steep path, if wet, can become dangerous without adequate footwear.
Finally... do not forget the camera! It will serve to capture the hike and the countless breathtaking views that Garda Trentino hides at every corner. If you want to share your memories with us, you can use the hashtag #GardaTrentino
