AperiTrek between Monte Clemo and San Defendente

There are hikes remembered for the views and others for the emotions they evoke. This sunset trek between Monte Clemo and the Hermitage of San Defendente offers both: a scenic route above Lake Iseo, immersed in the most authentic nature, to be experienced together with the Guidders.

We will set off from the small village of Esmate, taking a path that winds into the forest among beeches, chestnut trees, and ever-wider glimpses of the lake. The climb will lead us to the summit of Monte Clemo, a little-visited peak that offers spectacular views over Valle Camonica, Lake Iseo, Monte Isola, and the mountains of the Lombard Prealps.

After reaching the summit, we will begin a pleasant traverse to the evocative Hermitage of San Defendente, one of the most fascinating and panoramic places in the area. Here we will stop at the most magical moment of the day: the sun will begin to set behind the mountains, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink while Lake Iseo lights up with golden reflections.

It will be the perfect moment to relax, share a packed aperitif, and enjoy the silence of the mountains together with the Guidders. A simple, authentic experience capable of creating emotions that go far beyond the walk itself.
