WHY THIS HIKE

The Maniva ridges

This itinerary, suitable for everyone, proposes a walk along the lower variant leading to the Passo delle Sette Crocette (Pass of the Seven Crosses), an ancient connecting route between the upper Val Trompia and Val Grigna valleys, to ascend Monte Crestoso. The reason why the Pass has this monument is unknown. According to myths and legends, it is linked to spiritualism and witchcraft, while popular stories tell of a gesture of mountain piety towards a bloody event that led to the death of seven people. The itinerary starts from the parking area of the Locanda Hotel Bonardi in the Maniva area. It is an easy path, suitable for everyone, and does not require great technical preparation, other than being accustomed to walking.

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!
