WHY THIS HIKE

Pine woods, pastures and a balcony over the Sebino

The climb to Monte Colombina is one of those treks that let you breathe easy from the first steps: fragrant pine woods, quiet pastures, huts appearing among the meadows and a silence that seems designed to clear your head.

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

The experience

We start from Bossico, the plateau above Lovere, climbing through pine and beech woods on gentle bends that offer the first glimpses of the lake. At the top, at 1,460 metres, a natural balcony opens up from which Lake Iseo, Val Camonica and the Orobie all appear together.

It is 10 kilometres and 600 metres of ascent: the classic route everyone enjoys — families, curious hikers and Guidders after a calm day with views worth sharing.

This is an easy hike: 600 metres of ascent over ten kilometres, on comfortable, well-marked trails with no technical sections. Fine as a first outing and for those walking with children. Bring walking shoes, water and a packed lunch.

Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's climb the Colombina.
