La Roggia di Calavino

The Roggia di Calavino trail is a route through the narrow Canevai gorge between Dosfolòn and Casai, which was made accessible in the late 1990s.
It is an extremely fascinating itinerary that describes the indissoluble bond between the village and its water. A very ancient bond that has developed the expansion of the village around its Roggia. Locally, the initial part is known as the 'Rogia di Val', and it collects the water coming from Lasino as far as the source of the Bus Foràn. From here on, it is known as the 'Roggia Grande' and its course, after crossing the village of Calavino and a series of waterfalls and cascades, flows into the Canevai gorge and then into Lake Toblino.

During the spring and summer seasons, the vegetation turns green, creating an enchanting atmosphere that frames the waterfalls.

Equipment
You need to be wearing the right clothing and take the proper gear when you go hiking in the mountains. Even on relatively short easy outings make sure to take all you need so you don't run into trouble if things take an unexpected turn, for example a storm blows up or you have a sudden drop in energy levels.
What should you take when you go on a hike?
What you should have in your rucksack (for a day trip a 25/30L capacity should do):
- water canteen (1L)
- snacks (e.g. mixed dried fruit or chocolate)
- First aid kit
- windproof jacket
- fleece
- change of t-shirt and socks (in a plastic bag)
- make sure to wear or at least bring a pair of long trousers
- hat
- sun screen
- sunglasses
- gloves
- whistle to attract attention in an emergency
Emergency telephone number Mountain Rescue 112
Make sure you're wearing the right footwear for the trail and season. The going can get rough and rocky underfoot and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains.
When wet, a grassy slope, rocky slab or steep trail can be dangerous unless you are wearing the proper footwear.
And finally... ... don't forget to bring your camera! You'll need it to capture the stunning views you come across all over Garda Trentino. And if you like, you can share your memories with us at #GardaTrentino.
