Ponale road

The Ponale road, Ponale highway or lately Alpine trail D 01 is a former highway that was the first road connection between the Garda Lake area and the Ledro valley.

It was constructed by Giacomo Cis between 1848 and 1851 in the steep north-western ranges of the Garda Lake.

Since then the road had been officially closed, but has been popular by hikers and mountain-bikers.

Due to the immense popularity of the track with impressive views of the lake and its tunnels it has been reopened after investing €820.000 in 2004.
