IT.A.CÀ – Responsible Tourism Festival

About the event

IT.A.CÀ is Italy's first and only festival dedicated to responsible tourism, recognised by the UN World Tourism Organization for excellence and innovation. This year's theme is "Geografie di Pace" (Geographies of Peace), and this leg focuses on landscapes — natural, human-shaped, interior, sonic — as a way to read a world often flattened by exploitation, of people over people and people over nature.

The festival travels through the Alpi Ledrensi and Giudicarie area, inside the MAB Unesco biosphere reserve, across the municipalities of Ledro, Arco, Riva del Garda, Storo, Tenno and Pieve di Bono. This leg runs in two parts: 3 July to 1 August, and, focused on in-depth seminars, 25 September to 3 October.

The programme includes sound and interior walks, talks, music and concerts, with contributions from Claudio Inselvini (president of the Club Alpino Accademico Italiano), Licia Ferrari, Stefano Dalvai and Federico Risatti.

Getting to Ledro

From Riva del Garda take the SS240 west through the tunnel into the valley; from Milan and Brescia the approach is via Tormini and the Val Sabbia. The nearest station is Rovereto, with buses to Riva and onward connections to the Ledro villages. On foot or by bike, the Ponale trail climbs from Riva to the valley.

Parking: In Pieve di Ledro there is parking between Via Imperiale and Via Nuova near the info point; the Lago d'Ampola visitor centre is reached by boardwalk from its own car park.

About Ledro

Ledro is a mountain valley just west of Riva, reached through the tunnel on the SS240 or, for walkers and cyclists, up the old Ponale road carved into the cliff. The municipality was formed in 2010 from the villages around the lake and along the valley: Molina, Pieve, Mezzolago, Bezzecca, Tiarno and others.
