Overlooking Lake Garda, a path cut into the rock, which occasionally disappears and requires short but exciting climbs and will impress you with its wild beauty. The almost horizontal development offers unexpected and dizzying cliffs on the lake. The route, not being equipped, is therefore only suitable for those with experience or for those who require a guide. It can be reached along the legendary Ponale road.

Venice Full-Day Tour from Lake Garda

Caroline_R, Sep 2026

Fantastic day

Fantastic day from start to finish. The coach was clean and smart, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and interesting, and the whole day ran really smoothly. My only feedback would be to let bookers know that they will need to have cash for the gondola and lagoon rides beforehand as although we stopped somewhere with a cashpoint, it charged a hefty fee for withdrawal. It would also be useful to know that the gondola ride is for 4 people.

Wonderful guide and tour!

Alessandro was a wonderful guide. He reached out before the tour to see what we would like to do. The day of the tour he picked us up from our hotel and then we set out to see the sights. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area. So not only did we see beautiful sights but we learned facts that we would have never known about the area. We enjoyed wine and food that was local and delicious. We saw out of the way places that tourists don’t gets to see. It was an extremely enjoyable day!
