    The Castello d'Altaguardia stands on a spur at an altitude of 1224 m and is the highest castle in all of Trentino. The castle was built in the 13th century and today most of the walls have been preserved. It has a special atmosphere and the view from here dominates the entire valley.

    Near Bresimo there is a Venetian sawmill, meaning a sawmill powered by water. Venetian sawmills spread in Trentino around the 13th century, at that time among the timber supply areas of the Most Serene Republic of Venice. The sawmill operates exclusively by water power, conveyed through a channel onto a paddle wheel.

    Safety information

    As you can imagine, the passability of itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly related to current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may have changed. Before leaving, check the status of the path by contacting the managers of refuges on your route, mountain guides, visitor centers of natural parks, and tourist offices.

    Roadbook

    Difficulty: T (tourist trail)

    From the Sanctuary of Baselga di Bresimo, continue uphill through the houses and just upon reaching the forest, you will find signs indicating Castello d'Altaguardia to the left. At this point, there is also a parking area with about 8 spaces.

    Continue beyond the parking lot on a forest road, partly paved. The road steadily rises, then narrows slightly and reaches the Castelbasso farmhouse. Looking up, you can see the wide walls of the castle. The road narrows slightly and continues uphill to the castle.

    Here there are comfortable benches where you can stop and enjoy the view. 

    Retrace your steps for a few dozen meters to the road that arrives just below the castle. Here, instead of descending along the same route as the ascent, you can continue slightly uphill and take trail 149 but to the left. The path continues flat until some farmhouses, crosses a stream, and then descends to join the dirt road leading to Maso Castelbasso.

    From there, return to Baselga di Bresimo as on the way out.
