The castle is perched on a rugged rocky spur, from which it dominates the Alto Garda plain. Of the ancient fortress, the towers, part of the curtain walls and some ruined buildings remain intact, having suffered numerous assaults over the centuries. The last was that of the French troops in August 1703, while the War of the Spanish Succession was being fought. Inside Arco Castle, thanks to a recent restoration, you can visit the Stone Prison (Prigione del Sasso) and the Great Tower (Torre Grande), whose walls are decorated with a splendid cycle of profane 14th-century frescoes depicting ladies playing chess.

Arco si estende dalla piana del fiume Sarca fino alle pendici del Monte Stivo, con quote che vanno da poche decine di metri fino oltre i 2.000. La vicinanza al lago di Garda e il riparo offerto dai rilievi garantiscono temperature miti, che permettono la crescita di ulivi, cipressi e piante mediterranee accanto a specie di montagna. Nel centro storico ritrovi tracce dell’eredità asburgica nei palazzi signorili, nelle ville liberty e nel Parco Arciducale con il suo arboreto. Il castello medievale, posto in alto sulla rupe, è il riferimento visivo della città e testimonia il valore strategico di questo punto di passaggio verso la valle. Accanto al patrimonio storico, Arco ha sviluppato una forte identità legata allo sport all’aria aperta e agli eventi internazionali di arrampicata.

Great little town with winding narrow streets and many small shops, cafes, and restaurants! An ice cream at the church square is always a good idea!

At the top of the mountain, you walk on a kind of stone sea with great patterns in the stones. Surefootedness necessary.

Even in spring 2026: an extremely well-maintained alpine hut for self-use and payment on an honor system...we are glad that such traditions are still "kept alive" - respect to everyone who has contributed to this since 2001 and "thank you!"
