The adventurous road to Tremalzo winds along the passes of the Monti del Garda. On this hike we explore the central and most beautiful section of the old military road

We drive from the Valle di Ledro to the car park at Passo di Tremalzo, where we park our car. We take path no. 224, an old unpaved section of the Strada to Tremalzo. We climb below the rock faces of Monte Tremalzo to a tunnel at 1,855 m a.s.l. After passing through the tunnel, we find ourselves on the southern slope of Corno della Marogna, within the Parco Alto Garda bresciano.
The path proceeds downhill among rocks and forests. After several bends, we reach Passo Prà della Rosa, our final destination. The sunny clearing is the best spot for a break. Those who would like to continue, can descend on path no. 457 to Passo di Nota at 1,200 m a.s.l. where the Rifugio degli Alpini, a well-known refreshment point, is situated.
If you choose this alternative, that the return journey involves an additional 3 kilometres and further 250 metres of altitude difference on your return, which is mostly uphill and therefore challenging. This extension is recommended only for experienced hikers and is best avoided on very hot days. The entire hike offers a panoramic view of different directions, for example north-east towards the Gruppo dell'Adamello and south-east towards Lake Garda, stretching to the horizon.
