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 starts 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 which lies in a valley between Cima della Nana and Monte Carone.
As we tackle the ascent after having passed the St. Anthony's church, the valley narrows and turns into a gorge. We continue walking and arrive at the meadows of Malga Vil at the foot of Monte Guil. The eponymous mountain pass (1,210 m a.s.l.) overlooking Limone del Garda, forms the border of the protected area "Parco Alto Garda Bresciano". Those who would like to extend their hike 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.
