WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Stivo from Bordala

A natural balcony above Lake Garda.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Passo Santa Barbara, between the Vallagarina and the Trentino Prealps, and climb towards the summit of Monte Stivo: first through wooded stretches, then open pastures, and finally steeper slopes up to the area of the Rifugio Marchetti and the summit. In just a few hours you go from a green mountain pass to a point where your gaze embraces Lake Garda on one side and the Brenta Dolomites on the other. It's a solid trek, with the great feeling of reaching a true summit.

5 reasons to come - the view over Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites - the summit of Monte Stivo, a natural balcony over the lake - the stop at Rifugio Marchetti - a trail that keeps changing, between woods and pastures - a challenging but accessible climb

Who it's suitable for Significant elevation gain and some tough stretches on rocky ground: requires a trained pace and care on the descent.

Lake Garda seen from up here changes everything: come and look at it with the Guidders.
