An iconic hike in the Brescia Prealps, along the natural ridge that rises directly from the Brescia side of Lake Iseo.

The experience
The Punta Almana loop is one of the most beautiful panoramic treks between Brescia and Sebino: a progressive ascent that culminates in a spectacular summit point, with 360° views of the lake, Monte Isola, Franciacorta, and the surrounding mountains.
A complete and engaging route, perfect for Guidders who want to walk on a true panoramic ridge suspended between water and sky. 🧡
