WHY THIS HIKE

Busoni: trenches in fall colors

A flashlight in your pocket, a slice of history under your boots, and autumn lighting up the woods around you.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Sega di Ala on a loop trail that smells of history and golden leaves. We climb gently toward the Busoni Gallery, a tunnel carved into the rock during World War I: inside, helmets are provided for the visit, and outside, an iron ladder leads to a jaw-dropping balcony over the Adige Valley. We follow the ridge to Passo della Morte, crossing a scenic ledge protected by a railing, with views stretching all the way to Lake Garda. Along the way, an optional stop at Agritur Malga Cime is perfect for a local snack before closing the loop through the colorful forest.

Those trenches and artillery posts tell a real story: between 1915 and 1918, soldiers fought up here at altitude, carving positions into the rock instead of digging trenches in the plains.

5 reasons to join - the Busoni Gallery, a tunnel of history to walk through with a flashlight - the scenic ledge toward Passo della Morte, with Lake Garda in sight - the golden colors of the Trentino forest in fall - an optional tasty stop at Malga Cime - a full loop with constantly changing views

Who it's for A hike for curious walkers: no technical passages, just a bit of fitness and an eye for history and autumn colors.

Come discover it with us: the Guiddy community is waiting for an unforgettable fall outing.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Gabriella, a licensed hiking guide — but my background is actually in the humanities. I've always worked with storytelling, with a deep passion for stories and for History. For the past 4 years I've combined that craft with this one, searching for the stories that landscapes have to tell us as we make our way through them: there's always something there, you just need to know where to look. I love weaving my steps — and those of the groups I guide — together with tales, verses of poetry and music. And above all, I love exercising wonder, which is a muscle just like any other: if you don't use it, it withers away. Those who walk with me head home with a few more stories to tell. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!4
