A Journey Through Great War Heritage and Enchanting Lake Idro Panoramas
Discover the hidden soul of Capovalle, a charming village nestled in the evocative Valle Sabbia. Towering above the town, Monte Stino holds immense historical significance as a strategic frontline outpost during the First World War, once guarding the rugged borders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even today, its silent stone pathways, hidden tunnels, and weathered trenches stand as a powerful testament to that era, waiting to be explored.
Our adventure begins in Vantone, a renowned lakeside destination on Lake Idro. From here, we will travel through Capovalle to visit an authentic farm shop, discovering the artisanal heart of the valley. We will then ascend to the Monte Stino Refuge to indulge in a traditional lunch featuring the authentic flavors of mountain cuisine. After our meal, we will immerse ourselves in the historical traces of the Great War before beginning our descent toward the starting point, accompanied by breathtaking, bird’s-eye views of Lake Idro that open up along the entire trail.
This moderate-level experience is ideal for active families and groups, though it does require a steady hiking spirit and a good level of physical fitness. No specific technical requirements are needed—only a true passion for nature, a love for history, and a desire to be captured by the beauty of the Italian Alps.
