WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Bestone, Lake Garda

We set off from Limone sul Garda, finally free from the summer siege of tourists. The perfect season finally begins to walk the trails that, quite steep, start from the small village.

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

The experience

Today we tackle one of Limone's most iconic trails, the Sentiero delle Farfalle (Butterfly Trail). It is the most technical and steepest trail to climb Monte Bestone.

From up there, the view stretches over Limone, Monte Baldo, and almost the entire Lake Garda.

The descent trail leads us to the center of the Pura stream valley, which will accompany us on our way back.

Why join us - A 360° view over Lake Garda you won't forget - A technical trail, suited for those with trained legs and a taste for challenge - The energy of experiencing the mountain off the usual routes

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!
