The mountain hut Rifugio Damiano Chiesa on Monte Altissimo is one of the most popular destinations with hikers in Garda Trentino. This is a variation on the usual route for you to try

This hike gives you the chance to explore the face of Monte Baldo where the hut Rifugio Damiano Chiesa is situated. The area is extremely popular with hikers who can enjoy the local flora, spectacular panoramas and finally wind up with some hearty local food when they get to the hut.

This trek is through the Monte Baldo Local Nature Reserve, a protected area notable for its exceptional biodiversity. Monte Baldo has been renowned for its extraordinary variety of plants and flowers since the 15th century when it was known as the “Garden of Europe”

All around the mountain hut Rifugio Damiano Chiesa there are still remains of tunnels and trenches dating back to the Great War. This outpost was taken by the Italian army without any bloodshed in the early stages of the war and became the front line of the Italian Front and an important observation point over the Alto Garda area
