Panoramas from Monte Bronzone - Ring tour

Embark on the Panoramas from Monte Bronzone - Ring tour, a moderate hike offering diverse terrain and expansive views of Lake Iseo. You will traverse charming cobblestone streets in villages, shaded woodland paths, and open meadows, encountering sections with steep climbs and well-preserved Sarnico stone steps. This 6.5-mile (10.5 km) route, with an elevation gain of 2327 feet (709 metres), takes about 4 hours and 5 minutes to complete. From the broad, grassy summit, you can enjoy vistas of Monte Isola and surrounding peaks like Monte Guglielmo. A prominent giant blue bench along the way provides a perfect spot for photos and sweeping views across the lake.

This moderate hike requires good fitness and sure-footedness due to its varied surfaces and some steep sections. While the trail is specifically categorized as moderate, some ascent paths can be earthy and scruffy. You might find a potential resting point at Rifugio Gombo Alto, located near the summit. The route can pass through quaint villages like Fonteno, which may serve as a starting point for your adventure.

The primary appeal of this trail lies in its expansive panoramic views, extending to the Colli di San Fermo, the Torbiere, and the Orobic Prealps. At the summit of Monte Bronzone, you will discover a large peace bell, traditionally rung by visitors upon arrival. Another notable feature is the Croce di Predore, an ante-summit offering extensive panoramas of the southern part of Lake Iseo. Portions of the hike may also include the Sentiero Natura del Giardino, a nature trail with signs about local wildlife and plants.
