Lake Ledro lies in a valley surrounded by mountains, and with its blue color and its beautiful shores, it offers a delightful scenery that strikes the soul of the visitor, even before his eyes.

From the shores of the lake you can see the surrounding mountains, including Mount Tremalzo, Mount Corno, Cima Cadria, Cima Parì and Cima d'Oro.

The tour proposed here starts from near Molina di Ledro, and follows a clockwise route.


Access

From Riva del Garda, along the SS240 you drive to Molina, and shortly after the village, in the eastern part of the lake, you can find some parking.


Route

You walk towards the south-west, skirting the Pilework Museum first, then the southern shore of the lake:
