WHY THIS HIKE

Punta Almana in the clouds

Get ready for an extraordinary adventure across the sharp ridges of Punta Almana, in the heart of the magnificent Brescia Prealps. This variant of the Punta Almana route starts from Polaveno, specifically from the small church of Santa Maria del Giogo. The route is not difficult, but having a good elevation gain requires a decent level of physical fitness. The itinerary is characterized by various ups and downs which, when added together, give a difference in altitude of approximately 900 meters. Punta Almana is not famous for being an easy destination, but it manages to satisfy with the view it offers: in fact, after losing your breath, just look up to have a fantastic view of the entire Lake Iseo and the Valtrompia.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Elisa, an environmental hiking guide: one family, three hearts and a lot of appetite for walking. I (re)discovered my passion for the mountains in 2018 and we haven't stopped since: every week I set off on an adventure with my husband and our inseparable four-legged companion. We love everything about nature: from simple strolls through the woods to multi-day treks with a tent on our backs and a starry sky overhead. The urge to find new trails, breathe good air and share the feeling never runs out. If you dream of genuine outings too, to be lived with the people you love and at the right pace, we'll be waiting on the trail with a smile (and some tail-wagging). 🐶 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
