The circular walk with view on Lake Garda is especially recommended in spring and autumn
Image gallery: Hike via Pregasina to the Cima Nodice Peak
Our starting point is the car park at junction to Pregasina, at the exit of the paired tunnel connecting Riva del Garda to the Val di Ledro. We take the road to Pregasina until the tunnel where we take the Sentiero del Ponale on the left. We descend this path along a stairway and divert to the right onto the old road to Pregasina. This road, now accessible only to cyclists and hikers, offers beautiful views over the northern part of Lake Garda..
After a break we proceed uphill towards the forest, past the small San Giorgio church. Path no. 422 takes us through the forest towards the "Scala Santa" which winds along the rocks of Monte Nodice. Its most exposed sections before the 859 m high peak are secured with steps and metal ropes. We walk between caves, fortification remains and trenches of the Great War, right at the old border between Italy and Austria-Hungary. We follow signpost no. 429 "Biacesa" downhill through a dense forest. Some steep and slippery spots of the path require caution. The descent and also our hike end in the immediate surroundings of the car park we started from.
