Lessinia and its trails
A PLATEAU WITH GREEN MEADOWS, BETWEEN VENETO AND TRENTINO.
Lessinia is a plateau between Veneto and Trentino, less than one hour away from Lake Garda and the city of Verona. The Locanda Alpina is located in Sega di Ala, an historical border point between the two regions, and it can be reached in 20 minutes from the Val d’Adige, and in 45 minutes from Verona’s highway junctions.
Lessinia is a natural and rural landscape, spreading over 10 thousand hectares, characterized by beautiful views over the Po Valley and the Small Dolomites. Famous for its karst phenomena, and its Cimbrian traditions, this land is particularly appreciated for its many accessible trails, to be done on foot or mountain bike, that cross it in all directions.
