From Nago-Rifugio Altissimo-Brentonico-Nago

This is one of the more classic routes that South Trentino offers. Apart from the beauty of the environment, the awesome landscape of Lake Garda, and the breathtaking view from the natural balcony of Mount Altissimo, it remains, however, a challenging route both for its altitude difference and its length. In some parts you might have to push your bike, especially on path 601 due to the uneven ground, just below the summit. The tiring ascent is rewarded with the stunning 360 degree views.

This route starts from Nago centre. Follow the indications for Mount Baldo. It's a tarmac, uphill, road, quite challenging in some stretches, but luckily most of it is in woodland. The road ends at the “prati di Nago” car-park at 1530 m. From this point, follow the 601 SAT path: a compact but sometimes uneven dirt road. You might need to push your bike towards the end of the climb. Once reached the refuge you can taste the typical dishes of the area. It's recommended to visit the little church and the panoramic point where all the surrounding summits are named and, of course, last but not least, don't forget to walk to the top of Mount Altissimo to enjoy the spectacular view over Lake Garda and the surrounding valleys. The descent is on the winding 633 SAT dirt road to the Graziani refuge. The trail alternates  stretches of compact surfaces to gravelly terrains. From the Graziani refuge, 1620 m., follow the indications for San Valentino on the S.P. 3.  A tarmac road leads to San Valentino ,San Giacomo di Brentonico, Brentonico and then Mori. From here you can take the bike trail to Nago. An alternative route: after Brentonico, take the road to Castione and from the small square continue left to Sano after which you can take the bike trail that goes from Loppio to Nago.

From Mori-Brentonico-Rifugio Altissimo-Nago-Mori.

This route is the same as the above but in the opposite direction. It too is demanding both for its altitude difference and its length. From Mori the Monte Baldo provincial road ( S.P.3)  climbs up to the Brentonico plateau, through the villages of San Giacomo and San Valentino to the Graziani Refuge,1620 m. Following the indications for Monte Altissimo (SAT path 633), the climb takes you along a winding dirt road with uneven ground and exposed rocks to the Altissimo Refuge, just a few metres below the summit of Mount Altissimo, 2079m. Once reached the refuge you can taste the typical dishes of the area. It's recommended to visit the little church and the panoramic point where all the surrounding summits are named and, of course, last but not least, don't forget to walk to the top of Mount Altissimo to enjoy the spectacular view over Lake Garda and the surrounding valleys. 

The descent is via the 601 SAT path. The first part is very steep and uneven, but then the path is quite flat up to the dirt road and then onto the Prati di Nago car-park at 1530 m. The descent continues on tarmac road to Nago where you can get the bike trail to Mori.

From Malcesine-Bocca Navene-Rifugio Altissimo-Nago-Malcesine. 

From Malcesine, take the cable car to the top,1750 m. From here, descend on the dirt road, it's quite steep, to the tarmac provincial road ( S.P.3) of  Monte Baldo. This road will lead you quickly to the Bocca di Navene at 1425 m. From here onto the main road to the Graziani refuge ( 1620 m). Turn left and follow the directions for Mount Altissimo. The 633 SAT dirt road takes you onto an uneven and winding terrain  to the Altissimo refuge at 2060 mt, just a few metres under the summit of Mount Altissimo ( 2079mt). Once reached the refuge you can taste the typical dishes of the area. It's recommended to visit the little church and the panoramic point where all the surrounding summits are named and, of course, last but not least, don't forget to walk to the top of Mount Altissimo to enjoy the spectacular view over Lake Garda and the surrounding valleys. 

The descent is via the 601 SAT path. The first part is very steep and uneven, but then the path is quite flat up to the dirt road and then onto the Prati di Nago car-park at 1530 m. The descent continues on tarmac road to Nago where you follow the directions for Busatte park. From here follow the road for Torbole and then for Malcesine.
