Caption: The road was locked since 1990 to make room for restoration works in the closer area. It is only since 2004 that the road can be used again for bikers and pedestrians. Because of its long history, the road flourishes with a historic charm that one can feel from the first step.

Caption: Mount Brione rises up isolated in the middle of the alluvial plain of the Sarca, right behind the great Lake Garda and separates the two towns Riva del Garda and Torbole.
More than a real “mountain”, it is a limestone relief with the dimensions of a hill, but its steep and rocky faces on its eastern side give it the typical characteristics of a mountain.

The naturalistic importance of Mount Brione is mainly based on its flora, counting an incredible elevated number of species and besides all species are present in a relatively small area.

Caption: The secret of this natural resource is the position of Mount Brione, on the Northern boundaries of the Lake Garda area, where the lake is setting in its presence bringing a submediterranean climate that penetrates the southern Prealps.
