So the hike is not really "easy". The further you advance between the two rock faces, the more impassable the terrain becomes. You climb over boulders, which are sometimes loose and sometimes slippery. If you're not careful, you can accidentally fall and sprain your joints or break your bones. That's why I would strongly recommend trekking shoes instead of sneakers.
Despite (or perhaps because of) the tour is an absolute highlight. At the end of this tour, an amazing surprise awaits you: two boulders weighing several tons are stuck at a dizzy height between the rock walls on the right and left. Unfortunately, drones do not receive GPS, otherwise you could certainly shoot spectacular videos.

A path over scree, sturdy footwear is required. It's unsuitable in wet conditions as it quickly becomes very slippery. It's not suitable for dogs as you have to climb a metal ladder vertically at one point.

A very quiet and somehow mystical place. Reminds a bit of the worlds from Avatar. We have been to Malcesine many times, but only found out about this tour by accident. A real insider tip. It wasn't really busy and so you could enjoy this place in peace.
