WHY THIS HIKE

Stivo: cross, hut, the view

A summit cross that seems to touch Trentino's sky. And a mountain hut waiting just below.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Val di Gresta, between Ronzo-Chienis and Roccolo, climbing through woods, open clearings and a few steeper stretches that remind you why you're here. It's an out-and-back route: we push up to the Summit Cross, then descend the same slopes watching the light shift across the valley. A few metres below the top sits the Rifugio Prospero Marchetti, named after SAT's first president — the perfect stop before the final push to 2059 m.

From the summit the view splits in two: Lake Garda on one side, the Brenta Dolomites on the other. One of Trentino's best-loved balconies.

5 reasons to join - the Summit Cross at 2059 m, a goal you can spot from far away - the Marchetti Hut, a historic stop just below the top - a double view: Garda on one side, Brenta on the other - a varied route through woods, pastures and rock - the satisfaction of an out-and-back done on your own legs

Who it's for You'll need solid legs and the will to tackle real elevation gain: no technical sections, but a few steep stretches keep you on your toes.

Book with us: we're climbing together, this is one to live with the Guidders.

HOW TO GET THERE
A

Departure from Roccolo, Ronzo-Chienis
We meet the Guidders along the Val di Gresta provincial road, at Roccolo in Ronzo-Chienis (Trento), and set off towards Monte Stivo. The start time is indicative and may change with the season: the exact time will be shared in the event's Telegram group.
B
10:00SUMMIT

The trail climbs decisively through woods and clearings: the pace slows down but stays steady. Behind us the Val di Gresta opens up wider and wider.
C
11:30VIEWPOINT
Panoramic balcony towards the ridge
Here the trail gets steep and technical, step by step we gain altitude among small rocks and a decisive slope. The view opens over the whole valley below, a moment to enjoy before the final stretch.
D
12:30MOUNTAIN HUT
Rifugio Marchetti and lunch at the summit
We reach the summit cross of Monte Stivo, right next to Rifugio Marchetti: the view over the Dolomites and Lake Garda is breathtaking. We stop here for lunch, celebrating the summit with the whole group.
E
15:30RETURN
Return to the cars at Roccolo
We descend along the same trail we climbed, back through woods and clearings to Roccolo in Ronzo-Chienis. Once the hike is done with the Guidders, we enjoy a cold beer (or a coke) together by the cars.
