Malga Grassi
The route leaves Riva del Garda up via Ardaro going through San Giacomo
and out onto the road (No.37) which leads easily enough to Deva and Pranzo.
At the second hairpin after Pranzo take a diversion to the left for Campi
through fine chestnut trees. Before the village the road climbs a little and
after the houses turn to the right in the direction of Malga Grassi. A
little further up a good path leads to the archaeological site of San
Martino with remains of Roman buildings (worth a visit). Going back by the
same asphalted route there is another good section before the meadows of
Malga Pranzo surrounded by conifers and beech woods beneath the jagged
crests of Pichea peaks. Turn left at the beginning of the meadows for a
break at the Capanna Grassi and then take the path above the Malga of the
same name. This leads down the right side of the stream Gamella to the tiny
hamlet of "Parisi" where you take the little road that passes in
front of the little church of San Rocco. From here a long descend through
the woods brings you back to Riva del Garda passing through Pinza, and by
the little round ruined church of San Giovanni with its splendid lake view.
Further down, keeping to the route now surfaced as far as Santa Maria
Maddalena and then on to a straight forest road that rises slightly you
reach Riva’s old Venetian Bastione, with its view over the town. The road
goes down again in little asphalted hairpins to the main road.
