WHY THIS HIKE

Lake Pian Palù in Val Montozzo

We will explore the wonderful Val Montozzo, at the foot of the majestic Mount Ercavallo.

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

The experience

We will start our adventure with a delicious breakfast at the Pasticceria della Nonna in Peio Fonti, then move by car to Fontanino, where we can drink the famous ferruginous water of Pejo directly from the source!

From here, we will first climb to Lago di Pian Palù and then venture into Val Montozzo, to discover its breathtaking views and its history!

Are you afraid of being in a group that is too slow... or too fast?

Do you want to walk with your friend/girlfriend but have different paces?

No problem, you will have 2 AMM guides from the Collegio Guide Alpine del Trentino at your disposal!

We all start together, split up if necessary, and meet again at the finish.

The basic route is about 14 km with 950 meters of elevation gain, but having the possibility of making two small groups, it can be lengthened or tackled with different times.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Matteo, an AMM guide with the Collegio Guide Alpine of Trentino. I believe in sharing, in listening and in genuine experiences: the ones that leave real memories and make you feel part of the mountain, not a passing visitor. I live and work in the mountains, the place of my roots and my identity, where my heart beats harder. I've followed this road since I was a child, and at some point I turned the passion into a profession. Let's walk together: adventure is always better shared. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
