Exposed passages and path that collapses. Not recommended to do in the rain or wet ground. For the rest, paying attention you can do it and it allows you to conquer the fortress!

From this panoramic point above Torri del Benaco, the top of Mount Pizzocolo is clearly visible, on the other side of Lake Garda. Pisocol, as it is known in the Brescia dialect, is in fact located beyond Lake Garda, but its 1,581 meters and its typical cone shape make it easily distinguishable.

Great view up there, with the MTB you have to push up and sit well on the bike to go down, otherwise you can push back down again. In the video you can't see how steep it is, but you get a good impression: https://youtu.be/pI7UoScvkME
