Via ferrata Sentiero Contrabbandieri

The path which linked Austria with Italy up until 1918.



Request more info  

A sheer drop over the lake, a path cut out from the rock, which every so often disappears and requires some short but exciting climbing, will impress you with its wild beauty. It proceeds almost horizontally, offering unexpected and vertiginous overhangs above the lake. As the route is not equipped it is only suitable for experienced climbers or else requires a Guide. You reach it along the legendary Ponale road.

Sentiero dei contrabbandieri’ itinerary:

Exposure, adrenaline, views overlooking the lake, excitement: all make up the basic ingredients of this experience- truly breath taking- which this mountaineering path gives us which incredibly has been carved out on top of Lake Garda. You take it by leaving the spectacular Ponale road, on the outskirts of Riva, aiming towards south. On the “sentiero dei contrabbandieri” you alternate laybacking to overcome exposed passages like a tight rope walker, to hanging traverses and sections which are less difficult where you always need to be careful and have a steady foot. Your effort will be paid back by the amazing views and unforgettable emotions admiring, from a hundred metres up high, sail boats and ferries on the lake.
