Loop hike on Monte Baldo: autumn foliage in the beech forests and views over Lake Garda
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate
Description
For this loop hike on Monte Baldo, the spectacular view over Lake Garda is only part of the journey.
🥾 We set off with the Guidders from San Valentino, on the Brentonico Plateau, and quickly leave the village behind to venture into one of the enchanting beech forests of these mountains. The climb will reward us with our first glimpse of the lake from the striking Bocca di Navene.
With a few steeper sections that add character to the climb without ever being daunting, we ascend to the Colma di Malcesine, where we can enjoy one of the most beautiful views over Lake Garda.
✨The excitement doesn't end here, as it's now time to tackle one of the most distinctive stretches of this area, the Ventrar path.
The way back feels gentler now that the toughest sections are behind us, made even sweeter if we stop for a snack with homemade cakes at the Fos-ce refuge. ☕
5 reasons to come
- the autumn foliage in the most beautiful beech forests of the Plateau
- the loop that touches the scenic Ventrar path
- the view of the Baldo Range and Lake Garda
- the military cemetery from the Great War, open-air history
- fauna, flora and geology: discover why Monte Baldo is called the garden of Europe
Who it's suitable for
Trained legs are needed for the length of the loop and for some steeper sections: no technical passages, but a bit of exposure. Those who walk steadily will enjoy it from start to finish.
Come and enjoy autumn with the Guidders: book now and let's climb together toward San Valentino.

Guide
Luca
Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Luca, a mid-mountain leader, and the mountains of the Alto Garda and Tremosine are the place I've always called home. For me the mountains are far more than a trail to walk: they're a journey made of nature, history, culture and tradition. I like guiding people through the eyes of someone who lives these places every day, sharing the curiosities, the stories and the details a passing visitor misses. When I'm not working as a guide I still live the mountains as a hiker and climber, treating myself to the occasional via ferrata. I've always preferred a slow, aware pace to chasing speed: I believe the finest views and the most genuine feelings are earned by walking, one step at a time. If you too like taking the mountains calmly, with curiosity and an appetite for what's hidden beyond the trail, we understand each other. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
