Description

Join me on a beautiful day outdoors to the summit of Monte Altissimo (2,053m), Italy. Considered the Botanical Garden of Europe, this stunning mountain is located on the Monte Baldo chain and makes a perfect location for an easy hike. Get ready to enjoy outstanding views of Lake Garda.

Our trip begins with a 45-minute ride to Prati di Nago (1,560m), where our hiking route starts. We will be following the northern slope to Monte Altissimo, which covers 9 kilometers of pastures, alpine meadows and breathtaking landscapes.

First, we’ll be surrounded by a forest. Then, we’ll enter the Val del Parol, which leads to a valley filled with lilies, gentians and orchids. We might even spot marmots and chamois. The path slowly turns into an area of geological interest with limestone and fossils. After, we’ll stop at the Damiano Chiesa refuge for lunch, which is only 10 minutes away from our destination. The summit of Monte Altissimo offers a spectacular view of Lake Garda, perfect for photos. We’ll descend through the pine and rhododendron path 601.

This is a beautiful hike and a perfect cool alternative for the hot days. Book your trip now and let me guide you on this fantastic adventure.

Mountain Guide

Certified mountain and ski guide and is directing since 15 years the Mountain School Mmove (former Friends of Arco). In the past, his passion had driven him for weeks to the solitude of the Alps, of Patagonia, or of the icy heights of the Karakorum to climb famous walls and peaks and open up new routes.

Today his priorities have moved. He wants to share his enthusiasm for the mountains - while working with his guests and in his spare time with his sons, as his father has once done with him. Mauro Girardi is very proud on its enthusiastic and highly qualified team of local Mountain-and Ski Guides, Hiking Guides and office employees. Mmove is not just a mountain school, but is a steadily growing circle of friends, who would like to realize great experiences. We like to Mmove it !!

Mmove is the only mountain school in the Alto Garda region with a guaranteed weekly program and activities for all tastes and the whole family.

The team is formed by 8 IFMGA/UIAGM Guides, so if Mauro is not available, one of the other highly qualified members of the team will be the guide.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
