Monte Stivo: Panoramic Trek from Malga Campo

A Panoramic Ascent to Monte Stivo from Malga Campo

This hike, suitable for experienced hikers, offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of Garda Trentino. Starting from Malga Campo, the trail initially winds through beech and larch forests, then opens up to breathtaking views among rocks, mountain pines, and rhododendrons. The route leads first to Cima Bassa and then, along the ridge, to the summit of Monte Stivo, a natural balcony with spectacular views of Lake Garda.

Along the way, you can observe the evidence of the Great War, with Austrian trenches and positions still clearly visible. The ascent, with an elevation gain of about 700 meters, requires good physical preparation and a sure foot, but the view from the top repays every effort.
