WHY THIS HIKE

Corna Blacca: a challenging hike along the Brescia ridge

A complete climb, from woodland to ridge.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Collio, in the Brescia pre-Alps, and climb through the woods towards the mountain dairies: past Malga Closura and Cascina Corna Blacca Alta, then the ground opens onto high pasture and the path gains the Passo di Paio. The final stretch runs along the ridge, with sharp gradients and exposed passages taken with a sure step, up to the summit of Corna Blacca: from up there the view is huge across the whole Brescia province.

5 reasons to come - the final ridge up to Corna Blacca - the wide open view from the summit - the dairies and the genuine feel of the pastures - Passo di Paio, where the day changes rhythm - a complete climb, from woodland to rock

Who it suits A long, tiring outing: higher up there are sharp gradients, uneven ground and exposed passages, taken with a sure step.

Solid, hard and rewarding: come and do it with the Guidders.
