An easy via ferrata, suitable also for beginners, which offers a wonderful view on lake Garda as well as interesting historical traces.
Easy protected routes which follow the higher part of the system of tunnels and trenches which were part of the Austrian defence lines during the First World War. Headlamps needed for the tunnels
The simple Via Ferrata delle Laste leads to the Chapel of San Giovanni al Monte – popular with the inhabitants of Biacesa – the starting point of the labyrinth of tunnels and trenches excavated into the hart of the mountain which lead to Cima Ro cca, or rather cross it from side to side. There are tunnels and trenches to explore with a torch which are also suitable for families with children who have a love of the mountains and a taste for adventure.
The view from Cima Rocca extends from Lake Garda to the eastern peaks of the Ledro Valley.
There is a complex and articulated system of tunnels in Cima Rocca. Do not forget a lamp!
Emergency number 112.
