WHY THIS HIKE

The Monte Guglielmo loop

Mount Guglielmo (or Gölem) is the most well-known and frequented mountain by the people of Brescia, with the Christ the Redeemer statue and its small church, a visit to which leaves everyone breathless. Many paths allow you to reach the summit of the mountain, but this loop is the most scenic. The itinerary starts from the San Zeno hill, at the Piardi Refuge, and we will follow a comfortable mule track for most of our journey. During the first part of the path, we will pass by the Foppella Farmhouse, Pontogna Mountain Pasture, and Stalletti Alti Mountain Pasture. After arriving at the Redeemer, one of the panoramic points of Guglielmo, we will continue and encounter the typical Almici Refuge where we can take a short break. Continuing on the path, we will arrive at Punta Caravina, a panoramic point where our descent will then begin. We will also pass near the Medelèt Refuge, and from there, we can approach the Foppella Mountain Pasture again, where we can close our loop.

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!
