Tour description
From the top station of the cable car on Monte Baldo, go left towards north and follow signs for Monte Altissimo (path no. 651). Go on for a few kilometres along the ridge of Monte Baldo where there are wonderful views over the whole of Lake Garda and the Monte Baldo and Brentonico ranges.
Staying on path 651, go downhill until you reach the road. Keep left until you reach the Bocca Navene Refuge at 1425m. Just after the Refuge, leave the tarmac road and rejoin path 651 which goes first through a wood and then through pastures, always following the ridge.
Where the pastures finish, you then walk for a while on an old military road and then reach the rough track (633) which will take you to the Refuge at Altissimo.
