1/2 Day

Apr - Jun, Oct, Nov

Description

I invite you to a beautiful half day hike along the coast of the largest lake in Italy. In the north of the country we find the famous Lake Garda, perfect for a hiking adventure.

Rocca di Manerba, the Manerba Fortress, is a huge highlight of this trip. Indeed, it forms a natural balcony over Lake Garda. This allows for incredible views.

The hike will take place at sunset in order to enjoy the views with the best colours. During this trip, we also have a wine and local products tasting. We will stop for this at the summit of the Fortress. I will organize this delicious tasting. When in Italy, eating and drinking is always part of the experience!

The path goes through some remote spots of the Parco Archeologico e Naturalistico della Rocca di Manerba. We start at the foot of the cliff to then continue between the small harbour of Dusano and Punta San Fermo. This route ends on top of the famous Rocca.

This is an easy hike, suitable for families. It will take 3 hours and in total we climb up 150m. During the afternoon we will walk 6km.

I really like this hike because:
– It's in an interesting archaeological and natural park,
– There are amazing passages under the cliffs of the fortress,
– There are great views of Lake Garda South and gentle moraine hills.

If you are looking for a more demanding hike in the area, I also offer this Hike to Mount Pizzocolo in Lake Garda. Check it out!

About the guide

Matteo

Mountain Leader

I was born in the flat Po valley, but I have always loved the mountains and wide open spaces; my dreams come true in 2004, when I became a mountain leader.

Then in 2010 I became International Mountain Leader.

Now my job is in a Trekking company called "MilleMonti".

In all of my travels, I try to be true to the original spirit of curiosity and amazement that I've always felt when I am in the mountains and with this enthusiasm I lead the customers who travel with me.

I live in Italy, in Brescia, in the region of the great Italian lakes (Lake Garda, Lake Iseo, Lake Como). I like to make people discover this wonderful area, but also the most extraordinary places we could find in my homeland.

My destinations are Alps and Dolomites, as well as Italian islands, the Cinque Terre, the Gran Sasso and the National Park of Abruzzo.

If you meet me in the mountains, you can call me "Mammut".

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
