Via Ferrata Vertigo Sentiero dei Contrabbandieri

Up until 1918, this trail connected Austria to Italy. The peculiarity of this via ferrata is that it develops horizontally and you won't gain much altitude. However, since the trail is carved in the rocks, you walk on cliffs directly above the Lake Garda. You definitely need to have experience to take this breathtaking tour!
