FALESIA BELVEDERE
Falesia Belvedere is just 200m from our hotel. It has level differences between 10 -25m and is suitable for all kinds of climbers even families with children. In fact, the climbing pitches are short and the wall is ideal for beginners.
The Cliff’s name is a promise kept: Belvedere. As soon as you climb up and are above tree level, the view over Lake Garda is wonderful!

The second is Falesia di Nago which is 200m from the hotel. To get there, walk through the countryside and then take the path that leads to the wall.

Bike
EXPLORING ON TWO WHEELS
For years, the epOche HOTEL ZANELLA has offered hospitality to bike trail enthusiasts in Trentino. We are equipped to accommodate you and your bike with many specific bike services so you can fully experience Alto Garda on the medium that, at least in our opinion, is perhaps the best!
SERVICES FOR CYCLISTS
It is from passion that our work is born. The same passion you feel for your favorite sport: for this, we provide everything you need for your hike. You will find a lot of useful information about the many trails with elevation gain, difficulty, mapping and descriptions from us. We know how important it is to decide on the best route before leaving: ask us! We are true "Locals" and know every secret of our area. We also have tracks and routes in gpx files useful for those who use a Gps, so that your outing is safe and so that you can find your way back to our hotel without difficulty. We also have a storage room, with a small workshop, where you can store your bike and take immediate action to maintain it at its best and repair minor damage.
TWO TRAILS... IN ONE
One of the most beautiful routes that we recommend is the one from Nago to Valle di Ledro. Get off at Torbole, cross the road that passes through Busatte, also following a dirt track through the countryside. The views of the lake are really pleasant.
Once you get to Torbole, continue to Riva del Garda where the old Ponale road starts. This road is carved into the rock and as if "suspended" above the lake. The view is spectacular.
After climbing gently for 2km, you arrive at the entrance of Valle di Ledro, from here you have to choose between two routes. You can continue towards Punta Larici at 950m, one of the most beautiful and panoramic places on the lake, or you can go around Valle di Ledro with a 650m level difference. Once you reach the lake you can also take a refreshing swim.

LONG TREKKING ON THE PEACE PATHWAY
The Peace Pathway starts from the vineyards around Nago and reaches Malga Zurese. Besides giving you a wonderful view of Lake Garda, it brings you back to the period of the First World War. There are tunnels, military posts and roads carved into the rock built by Austro-Hungarian soldiers along the pathway. Upon your return you can walk along the ancient mule track (SAT 632) which allows you to admire the majestic cliffs. The 7.5km route lasts 4 hours and has a level difference of 565m.
EXCURSION TO MONTE BALDO
At the Monte Baldo valley station, you will find directions to Monte Altissimo (SAT 651) with a cable car. From here you walk for a few kilometers along the ridge of Monte Baldo. You are accompanied by stunning panoramic views of Lake Garda. Passing through meadows and stretches in the woods, you will come to the SAT 633 path which takes you to the top of Monte Altissimo where the beauty of the panorama leaves you breathless.
