Walking time: 150 – 170 min. Trekking/MTB From Nago-Rifugio Altissimo-Brentonico-Nago (Mtb/Trekking loop ride) This is one of the more classic routes that South Trentino offers. Apart from the beauty of the environment, the awesome landscape of Lake Garda, and the breathtaking view from the natural balcony of Mount Altissimo, it remains, however, a challenging route both for its altitude difference and its length. In some parts you might have to push your bike, especially on path 601 due to the uneven ground, just below the summit. The tiring ascent is rewarded with the stunning 360 degree views. This route starts from Nago centre. Follow the indications for Mount Baldo. It's a tarmac, uphill, road, quite challenging in some stretches, but luckily most of it is in woodland. The road ends at the “prati di Nago” car-park at 1530 m. From this point, follow the 601 SAT path: a compact but sometimes uneven dirt road. You might need to push your bike towards the end of the climb. Once reached the refuge you can taste the typical dishes of the area. It's recommended to visit the little church and the panoramic point where all the surrounding summits are named and, of course, last but not least, don't forget to walk to the top of Mount Altissimo to enjoy the spectacular view over Lake Garda and the surrounding valleys. The descent is on the winding 633 SAT dirt road to the Graziani refuge. The trail alternates stretches of compact surfaces to gravelly terrains. From the Graziani refuge, 1620 m., follow the indications for San Valentino on the S.P. 3.  A tarmac road leads to San Valentino, San Giacomo di Brentonico, Brentonico and then Mori. From here you can take the bike trail to Nago. An alternative route: after Brentonico, take the road to Castione and from the small square continue left to Sano after which you can take the bike trail that goes from Loppio to Nago.
