Bocca de l’Ussol is the centrepiece of the mountain crown surrounding Val Concei. The Bocca is the northernmost point in Valle di Ledro and it is a natural balcony over the Giudicarie.
Cima Ussol is topped with a peculiarly shaped cross, which is a beautiful viewpoint over the nearby valleys and the meadows of Guì. Under the summit there are some trenches dating back to the Great War.

Just a short walk from Bocca de l’Ussol lies Cima Gavardina. Legend tells of a fairy named Gavardina, guardian spirit of the valley. The wooden sculptures in the pic nic area near Rifugio Al Faggio are inspired by her.

You need to wear the right clothing and take the proper gear when you go hiking in the mountains. Even on relatively short easy outings make sure to take all you need so you don't run into trouble if things take an unexpected turn, for example a storm blows up or you have a sudden drop in energy levels.
What should you take when you go on a hike?
Your rucksack (for a day trip a 25/30L capacity should do) should contain:
Make sure you're wearing the right footwear for the trail and season. The going can get rough and rocky underfoot and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains. When wet, a grassy slope, rocky slab or steep trail can be dangerous unless you are wearing the proper footwear.
And finally... don't forget to bring your camera! You'll need it to capture the stunning views you come across all over Garda Trentino. And if you like, you can share your memories with us at #GardaTrentino.
