Via Ferrata along the Sentiero dei Contrabbandieri

The Via Ferrata along the Sentiero dei Contrabbandieri, excavated by Austrian soldiers during the war, stretches for 2 km horizontally. The route is entirely overhanging the lake and therefore offers an exciting view through its whole length. Although the route is not too difficult, it is necessary that children already have experience of via Ferrata.
The Balconi sul Garda path is also called Sentiero Contrabbandieri (Smugglers' Path). It is not constituted by a proper via Ferrata as only a few passages are, in fact, secured with steel cable. The guide will be the one to be linked with the participants.
