Holiday apartment in Prè Di Ledro – Culture, Trails and Panoramic Views

Prè Di Ledro lies almost the entire winter without direct sunlight because of the surrounding mountains. The Festa del Sol, the churches and the trails along the Rio Ponale give the village different historical and scenic points of reference. The fixed date links this tradition with Prè Di Ledro's winter location.

Winter Light and Festa del Sol

Every year, the Festa del Sol is celebrated in Prè Di Ledro on the first Sunday in February. The festival symbolises the return of the sun and thus directly refers to the village's winter light conditions.

Churches with a Specific Local History

The churches also give Prè Di Ledro a precise historical profile. The first surviving records of the Chiesa di San Giacomo maggiore in Prè Di Ledro date back to 1 May 1537; a pastoral visit took place in the Ledro Valley on that day. The Chiesetta di San Rocco in Prè was built by the Battaini family in the 17th century. The family had made a vow to the saint in gratitude for protecting the family from the plague of 1630.

During a pastoral visit in 1671, the Chiesetta di San Rocco was considered well built and suitably equipped by its founder.

Trails, Bridges and Views of Lake Garda

There are several specific trails to explore on days combining activity and scenery. The Sentér de Malga Vil (Sentiero a Malga Vil) begins in Prè Di Ledro and leads across the old bridge over the Rio Ponale. The Sentiero Monsignor Giovanni Antonioli features a viewpoint with panoramic views of Lake Garda. On the Sentiero del Ponale, the cycle path and footpath converge again near Prè Di Ledro. These trails lead to three specific scenic points: the old bridge over the Rio Ponale, the view of Lake Garda, and the convergence of the cycle path and footpath on the Sentiero del Ponale.
