Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Easy
Description
This isn't just a hike—it's an immersion into the heart of the Garda Morainic Hills, where the Earth's ancient history and authentic local flavors come together. Leave the crowds behind and join us for an unforgettable experience filled with breathtaking views and millennia of geology.
At 10:00 AM, we'll meet in the central square of Custoza. From there, we’ll start our 6 km journey to discover the geological process that shaped this unique landscape. I’ll guide you along gentle, scenic trails, sharing the story of how the great Benaco glacier carved out the lake and built the very hills we'll be walking on.
The trail is easy and suitable for everyone, even those who aren't regular hikers. It's a slow-paced experience designed for you to reconnect with nature and your own well-being.
Our hike culminates in a refreshing stop at Agrigelateria Corte Vittoria, a small, family-run farm and a true hub of local tradition. Here, you'll have the chance to taste their delicious homemade ice cream, made with zero-kilometer milk, and enjoy a selection of local cured meats and cheeses for a light and tasty lunch (lunch and ice-cream is not included in the price). It’s the perfect way to conclude our journey, savoring the fruits of this generous land. The end of this amazing experince is at 13.00 in Custoza.
