The small village of Prè di Ledro is located along the state road SS 240, between the villages of Riva del Garda and
Molina di Ledro. The path begins in Piè di Ledro and crosses the old bridge over the Rio Ponale, the starting point of the "Sentér de Malga Vil" (path to Malga Vil), a steep, stone-paved path. After a 2 km walk with 400 metres of ascent, the track turns into a forest road leading to the settlement of Leano, located in a valley between Cima della Nana and Monte Carone.
We walk past the small St. Anthony's church and ascend to a point where the valley narrows, turning into a gorge. Once at the meadows of Malga Vil, we are directly below Monte Guil. The eponymous mountain pass, at 1,210 m a.s.l., overlooks Limone del Garda and marks the border of the protected area "Parco Alto Garda Bresciano". If you would like to continue, you can follow the "Sentiero Monsignor Giovanni Antonioli" to a panoramic viewpoint offering a spectacular view of Lake Garda. After a break, we return to Prè di Ledro along the same path.
