Larici Point, unmissable breathtaking balcony on Lake Garda
Larici Point completes the three wonders of western Upper Garda, a splendid viewpoint that offers breathtaking perspectives on Lake Garda. Together with the Ponale Road for cycles and pedestrians and the Tremosine Gorge, the walk towards the peak with the most exciting view of Lake Garda is an unmissable stop for those who spend a few days in lower Trento province. Do you know about Larici Point?
The starting point of our excursion is the picturesque village of Pregasina, which can be reached directly from Riva del Garda in a few minutes by car. During the mass tourism season, you should arrive early in the morning, as the last stretch of road is very narrow and makes it impossible to continue when cars come in the opposite direction. A convenient parking
area, but with few places, is near the parish church. From there, the dirt path starts and leads to Larici Point in an hour. The forest path leads to Malga Palaèr hut in about half an hour and runs through an evocative beech forest.
Larici Peak is the highest point, at about 900 meters above sea level. You climb around 400 meters on the path, and the scenery enjoyed from the top is difficult to describe, from Limone del Garda to Torbole, and from the Garda shore to Mount Altissimo and the Baldo mountain group. On clearer days, you are left breathless.
At one third of the way, the detour for expert hikers is recommended for the more daring and adventurous. Path 422A is rated EE (Expert Excursionist) and is called “Senter de la Costa”. This route was built during the Great War, with more challenging slopes and sections with exposure. The emotions, remembering the path’s original strategic purpose and the feeling of overlooking the lake, make this way truly unforgettable.
Surely, the detour onto the EE path is recommended only for those who have a minimum of training and those who do not suffer from vertigo.
