This is a trail for experienced hikers which leads to Cima Bassa and then along the ridge to the summit of Stivo, one of the most spectacular viewing points in Garda Trentino

The trail climbs among beech and larch woods before coming out above the tree-line where it begins to wind among rock, dwarf pine and rhodendron, the surroundings gradually changing as it rises to the summit of Monte Stivo at over 2000 metres above sea level.

There is an observation/viewing point near the mountain hut with a viewfinder and dial showing the names of all the surrounding peaks: Monte Baldo to the south, Brenta and Adamello to the west, and the lower Dolomites and Pasubio to the east

Suggestions

Along the trail there are many signs of the Great War. Stivo was in fact a second line of the Austro-Hungarian front and they left clearly visible traces of the defences.
