Mount Pizzocolo, the Balcony Over Lake Garda
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate
Description
Mount Pizzocolo, standing at 1,581 meters, is located on the Brescia side of Lake Garda. Its name is linked to the pointed appearance of the summit, a result of the steep and rocky north face. Thanks to its position, it offers a wonderful view over the entire central and southern part of the lake. Below the summit, a bivouac called Bivacco Due Aceri has been built, and there is a chapel dedicated to those who died in the mountains and in war. Our trail will start from the hamlet of Sant'Urbano, in Toscolano Maderno, and will all be on a simple mule track. We'll pass near Malga Valle and through dense woods.

From Vesuvius to Adamello, I'm always ready to hit the trail! Born in Naples, I've called Brescia home for years, where I find my happy place amongst the rocks and mountain paths every weekend. I love all kinds of hikes: from easygoing strolls to challenging treks for experienced hikers. My hiking journal is already packed with adventures... but I still have so many pages to fill with new trail buddies! I know the trails of Valtrompia like the back of my hand, and I have a real soft spot for the Adamello Natural Park, a corner of the world that never ceases to amaze me. 🎒 If you love hiking with a smile and want to be part of a close-knit group... then we'll get along great. See you on the trail, Guidders!
