San Pietro al Monte Calino at 980 m a.s.l. is a natural terrace from where you can enjoy a stunning view of Tenno and Lake Garda

We start in Tenno and having crossed the city centre, we follow the signpost of path no. 401 and then the signposts of an ancient path leading to the small hamlet of Calvola and uphill through the forest to the road to San Pietro. After about 500 metres along an asphalt road, an uphill path branches off to the right. One section of this route leading up to rif. San Pietro is very steep.
Thanks to its beautiful position embedded in nature with a view of Tenno and Lake Garda and its relatively low altitude (980 m a.s.l.), rif. San Pietro is among the first mountain huts to open for the summer season. After a well-deserved break we proceed our hike towards north on the forest path no. 406 which rejoins the asphalt road.
After a 200 metre walk we turn left and take the forest road towards Casa Bastiani. We continue descending through forests on path no. 406 to the ancient Canale di Tenno - one of Italy's most stunning hamlets - with its typical houses. We walk on a path paralleling the SS421 and return to Tenno at the foot of Monte Calino, where our circular spring hike ends.
