Challenging excursion following the South-East Crest of Monte Pizzocolo.
Monte Pizzoccolo is located on the Brescia side of Lake Garda, in the Alto Garda Bresciano Park, and dominates the town of Toscolano Maderno. It is a panoramic peak, the southernmost on the Lombard side of Lake Garda, which allows you to enjoy a splendid view of the lake, but not only: you can also admire the Ortles, Monte Baldo and Adamello. The route that we propose is not for everyone, because the section of the South-East Crest (former East Crest) is suitable for expert hikers; in several places you have to climb on rock and you must have a steady step and absence of vertigo. For those who don't feel like it, just take path 287 and you can easily reach the summit.
ITINERARY
From the car park in Ortello (695 m) go up to the right following the signpost 287 / 16TM indicating Cresta Sud-Est. You cross a small wooden bridge and arrive at the Tre porcellini cliff. Continue reaching the crossroads in Sopra Seasso - Sentiero delle Creste (858 m). Here you continue straight on on 16TM: now the South-East Crest begins. At the intersection of Cresta Sud-Est / Variante Tre Amici (1330 m), turn left following the 202C. Just before the summit there is an anemometer. A few more steps and you are on the summit of Monte Pizzocolo (1581 m). Pass through the Bivacco Due Aceri (1567 m) and go towards Le Merle signposted 287. Pass Dosso Le Prade (1458 m) and at Le Merle (1345 m) take the path 223 towards Sant’Urbano. You pass from Paolona di Sopra (1241 m), from the Rifugio Cà Da Prada (1117 m), from Barbio di Sotto (956 m) and arrive in Sant’Urbano (876 m). Now we return to Ortello.
