Torbole - Dos Casina
Nago - Monte Corno
From Torbole’s central square it’s straight up taking the old Nago
road. At the first hairpin go straight on for the little valley of Santa
Lucia, which on a cobbled road passes the foot of the cliff dominated by the
ruins of Penede castle. Still climbing you come to the first house of Nago
on the right and turn right to meet the road for Mount Baldo which, still to
the right, winding steeply leads up towards the rocky pinnacles that precede
Malga Zures. Here, among the clear evidence of First World War military
activity /tunnels and remains of barricades), the road is briefly level
before beginning to climb again without a break. First it passes Malga
Casina, and then on the right handed bend before Dos Remit take the
unsurfaced forest road to the left that goes round the rise and then down
towards the Brentegana road. After crossing the Val Grande, a path to the
left drops steeply down towards Malga Rigotti with many turns and still
further down towards Maso Cavril until it comes out on the main road by a
house. Head for Riva to the left and halfway up the incline turn left again
for "Mala". Go through it and then down briefly after the sport
field, turning left along a country lane you come back to Nago village
through the vineyards.
ALTERNATIVE:
A narrow asphalt path climbs up to the north of village of Nago towards the
rocky slopes of Mounts Brugnolo and Creino. About 3000m after the Hotel Nago,
on the left, you meet a seriously steep rise which in places turn into a
real cliff (you need a mini toothed chain and huge sprockets) and goes as
far as Capedello. But when the first fields and meadows of Corno appear the
amazing view of the lake you get from here makes it all worth while. To the
left of the first stone house you come to after the ascent a level section
brings you to a cross-roads signposted for Creino-Santa Barbara. Take the
right at the next cross-roads and start to climb again up this only partly
asphalted mule track which is hard work right to the top. As the route eases
up take the little road to the left which starts to descend and then widens
before joining the Corno road. Turn to the left again onto a difficult
cobbled section and at the first hairpin, left again taking the path that
leads down to the main road (240) and go back towards Nago.
