A peak overlooking the lake
A hike of great historical and scenic value, taking place along the border between Lombardy and Trentino, once the frontier of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as evidenced by the remains of military fortifications encountered along the route.
From Rifugio degli Alpini, you reach Passo Bestana and then Bocchetta Fortini, before continuing along a trail that gently ascends through the forest.
Following wide switchbacks, you arrive at a gully that is climbed via a spectacular staircase (about 250 steps), built into the rock by the Alpini during the war. Some sections are exposed but made easier by the presence of metal cables. After exiting the gully, the trail continues among ruins of barracks and military positions up to the summit, where the view opens onto the Monte Baldo group and Lake Garda, with Carè Alto, Presanella, and the Brenta group rising in the background. Near the summit are the remains of an anti-aircraft artillery position.
Descending along an easy trail, you reach Baita Segala and rejoin the outward route, with a short detour to visit the military cemetery.
