Just outside the town, we follow the signs for D 01, Valle di Ledro. Soon, we leave the asphalt for the dirt road and continue with a slight uphill ascent Magnificent panoramas open up, with breathtaking views of Garda lake on one side and imposing rock walls on the other. The road is at times built through tunnels, which make the route even more captivating.<\/p>\n\n<p>After about 2 km, the road veers to the right towards Val di Ledro, and the pedestrian path separates from the cycling path. Continuing on, we finally reach the village of Pr\u00e8 di Ledro, located on the shores of Ledro lake, with the famous pile-dwelling museum.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>The return is then on the same route as the outbound trip.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ponale Trail - BergamoXP\" class=\"wp-image-17896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-3-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-3-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ponale Trail &#8211; BergamoXP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ponale Trail - BergamoXP\" class=\"wp-image-17894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-3-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2-3-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ponale Trail &#8211; BergamoXP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>The excursion doesn&#8217;t present any particular difficulties and is suitable for all, both adults and children accustomed to walking. <\/p>\n\n<p>The route is exposed to the sun, and it&#8217;s recommended to traverse it in spring, autumn, or when the weather isn&#8217;t excessively hot. <\/p>\n\n<p>You can find the interactive map of the route, complete with elevation profile and downloadable GPS track, at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdooractive.com\/it\/route\/escursione\/garda-trentino\/il-sentiero-del-ponale\/203030364\/\" data-type=\"URL\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<p><em>Always organize your trips with care, choose appropriate equipment, and verify the itinerary before embarking on it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ponale Trail - BergamoXP\" class=\"wp-image-17892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1-3-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1-3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bergamoxp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1-3-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ponale Trail &#8211; BergamoXP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BergamoXP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p id=\"bergamoxp\">BergamoXP is the first aquatic sports center in the province of Bergamo.
