How to get to Chalet Brento
The Chalet Brento is located at 1350 meters above the village of Lundo, in the territory of Comano Terme, immersed in the nature of Garda Trentino. Reaching it is not just a transfer, but an integral part of the experience: a small journey that gradually takes you away from everyday life, to a place where time really slows down. The chalet is accessible both on foot via several hiking trails, and by car along a forest road (with permit).
