Another nice autumn hike we managed and on top completely new nasmeh. We haven't walked around here yet, which is quite a tough task after years exploring Garda and surroundings. We drove to the old village Bagolino near lake Lago D’Idro, good starting point for many tours. This wasn't first visit to this place, but old village core around church Chiesa di San Giorgio Martire always fascinates us. Unusually big church for such small place.

We left the car at organized free parking near original church Chiesa di San Rocco and walked through village center. There the first signs for path Alta via del Caffaro appeared and then only the ascent up the hill. On well marked path we visited pasture Fontana and viewpoint Monte Carena, then it led us to main summit Monte Telegrafo and further. Somewhat before saddle Passo di Val Marza we descended right on indistinct trail towards pasture Malga Casinello, then on nice gravel to end of loop at Fontana. Gravel roads about 6 km, but scenic and completely effortless.

Final descent on same path as in the morning. Besides Alta via del Caffaro marks also 408 and 410 appear, all three lead to start. Right at end 3 km asphalt road, also scenic and passes quick. Nice tour calling for continuation nasmeh.

Coordinates of the starting point (Bagolino): 45.8256408N, 10.4600358E
