❍ Open Tour
Join us on this wonderful multi-day hiking tour along the west coast of Lake Garda and be amazed by Italy's largest lake!
Thanks to the mild climate of the lake, backpacking for several days is a great choice to be active and healthy, immersed in the fantastic Mediterranean nature of Lake Garda.
This tour is ideal for those who want to reach the many peaks overlooking the lake and the many beautiful villages that surround it: Gargnano, Limone, Toscolano-Maderno, Pregasina, Tremosine and many other beautiful villages are waiting for you!
In the evening, at the end of the hike, a charming village will waiting for us to regenerate us with good food and a comfortable bed, ready to leave the next morning to discover new paths and new horizons!
The technical level required is not for experts but it is necessary to be fit as hiking time is 4 to 6 hours a day.
Whether alone or in the company of your friends, joining this multi-day tour is something you won't forget - contact us for more information.

Daily Program
Gargnano » Tremosine
Altitude difference: 600 meters over 18 kilometers
Second day of hiking, the longest in terms of kilometers but not in terms of elevation. The further north we hike, the steeper and more challenging the track becomes.
The lake is always beside us with its colors and light, making everything more beautiful and exciting.
Tremosine » Limone
Altitude difference: 800 meters over 14 kilometers
The second part of the tour is more challenging and the environment is more alpine. Today we will reach the most beautiful peaks overlooking the lake.
The view from here is of 360° including the Brenta Dolomites and the Adamello glaciers. Let's enjoy everything that surrounds us, we'll think about tiredness later on!
Limone » Riva del Garda
Altitude difference: 900 meters over 13 kilometers
The first part is very pleasant and flat before the last effort to conquer one of the most panoramic peaks of the entire lake area. From the shore of the lake we quickly climb to altitude thanks to a steep and sometimes exposed path. A real alpine environment will make us sweat but the reward is great: welcome to one of the most famous peaks of Lake Garda!
From the top we descend towards the blue waters below to complete the last part of the tour along one of the most famous paths of the whole Garda area.
The end of the tour is scheduled between 2:00 and 4:00 PM. From Riva del Garda, by bus, you can easily reach the train station of Rovereto, served by high-speed trains, or you can return to Toscolano.

Mary B.Australia Jun. 2023
Couldn't have asked for a better Dolomites trekking experience, [...] the day ran smoothly (and lunch was delicious!) Guido has a wonderful sense of humour which added to our trekking along the lesser used pathways, enjoying the jaw dropping scenery. [...]
Loretta M.Utah Oct. 2022
Our guide Guido was very knowledgeable of the area and experienced. He was friendly and good fun to hike with. A memorable experience. Highly recommend Guido as your guide.
Tom F.Texas Jul. 2022
Guido is a wonderful guide. Extremely knowledgeable about the mountains. Always paying attention to the guests. Offers easy and harder routings throughout the day. Will be back for a multi-day hike with Guido.
Julia M.Denmark Jul. 2022
WOW! what more can i say. If you are on the fence about booking this... book it. Guido was absolutely amazing and super accommodating. [...] It was a pleasure meeting him and getting to explore the dolomites with him!!
Baharati V.Malaysia Jun. 2022
I was a solo traveller and was fortunate to find Guido and Freemotion. [...] The organised trek made my time in Dolomites for day hikes as seamless as possible [...] I felt confident in Guido's guidance. [...] I would definitely be calling FreeMotion again.
Claire O.Australia Oct. 2021
[...] I'm happy I was with a guide who knew where to go :) Guido is friendly, well informed, discreet and respectful of privacy. I recommend Freemotion to anyone who wants to visit the Amalfi Coast, one of the most beautiful places I've ever been!
Fernanda V.Brasil Sept. 2021
[...] If you wanna have a great experience in the Dolomites, Oscar is the guy for that! Despite of the weather, I had amazing two days during the hiking... I wish so bad I could go back (and for sure I am one day!). Great rifugio, great hiking, thanks Freemotion!
Sandy B.US, New Jersey Jul. 2021
My two days of hiking with Chiara in the Dolomites near Cortina d'Ampezzo were fabulous. She adjusted the difficulty perfectly for me-a great workout but not beyond my capabilities [...]
Marika C.Georgia Aug. 2019
[...] As a guide, Guido is very experienced, knows what he is doing and is extremely helpful in planning the entire hike - from arrival to departure. [...] I strongly recommend him and I hope, I'll have a chance to do couple more hikes with him this summer.
Amanda F.US, Illinois Jun. 2019
My guided hike was, without a doubt, the best part of my trip to the Dolomites [...] I highly recommend a guided tour with Guido. He's personable and friendly so you'll definitely have fun [...] I felt safe with Guido.
Danielle S.Australia Mar. 2019
I was a solo traveller looking to try snowshoeing for the first time. This tour was everything I hoped for and more [...] I would highly recommend this tour. An experience not to be missed if visiting the Dolomites during Winter.
Jim E.US, Utah Jan. 2019
We had an incredible experience with Chiara. She was very enthusiastic, very attentive, and knew the terrain well. She accommodated our interests and energy level. We would highly recommend this company!!
Yan S.Singapore Sept. 2018
My mother and I were very fortunate to have engaged Freemotion for our one day hike to Lake Sorapis from Cortina [...] On the day of the hike, Chiara was extremely attentive, particularly towards my elderly Mom who was hiking for the first time.
Kim C.US, California Aug. 2018
Hiking with Eugenio was like being with an incredibly well-informed, thoughtful, and enthusiastic friend; he loves the regions where he grew up and shares that love with you [...] Eugenio made this day a sparkling highlight of my vacation.
