On this path from Torbole to Nago (the entrance is signposted from the Strada Granda directly behind the Hotel Villa Stella) you get a look back into the Ice Age. Here, maelstroms of meltwater have washed out gigantic funnels beneath the ice, the shape of which is reminiscent of huge cooking pots. Hence the name “Marmitte dei Giganti”. In Italian, "Marmitte" means cooking pot. And then you have to imagine that MTB enduro riders also plunge into this depth on this path. And then you involuntarily think: Nobody can really want THAT 😱!" And yet they do it. And recently three of the world's best bikers (including Hans Rey) even rode up this climb on their e-bikes!!!

For millions of years, the erosion of glacier water has chiselled the rocks into amazing shapes, and that's how these giant pots came to be.
