Sentiero dei Cirmoli: autumn hike to San Giacomo, Monte Baldo
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate
Description
Five hundred cirmolo pines planted by one man, in a forest now blazing with autumn colors.
We set off with the Guidders from San Giacomo, on Monte Baldo, and tackle the steepest stretch right away: the first kilometer climbs hard, then the pace eases among beeches and cirmolo pines glowing gold in this season. The route is a loop, and the climb takes us to 1767 meters before we descend on different slopes, with views opening onto Monte Altissimo. Along the way we pass near the Rifugio Graziani at Bocca del Creer, 1617 m — worth checking seasonal opening hours if you fancy a stop.
The trail's name comes from a real story: Augusto Girardelli, known as "the man of the cirmoli," planted five hundred of these pines in the late 1970s to reforest and protect the slope from avalanches. We're literally walking through his legacy.
5 reasons to join
- the cirmolo forest in full autumn color
- a loop that keeps changing, never dull

- open views onto Monte Altissimo

Guide
Luca
Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Luca, a mid-mountain leader, and the mountains of the Alto Garda and Tremosine are the place I've always called home. For me the mountains are far more than a trail to walk: they're a journey made of nature, history, culture and tradition. I like guiding people through the eyes of someone who lives these places every day, sharing the curiosities, the stories and the details a passing visitor misses. When I'm not working as a guide I still live the mountains as a hiker and climber, treating myself to the occasional via ferrata. I've always preferred a slow, aware pace to chasing speed: I believe the finest views and the most genuine feelings are earned by walking, one step at a time. If you too like taking the mountains calmly, with curiosity and an appetite for what's hidden beyond the trail, we understand each other. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
