Beautiful trail. Some would call it flowy, but it's still nice and flowing and technical. Well maintained. From Pian di Vaghezza, you reach Passo Croce (a dirt road with steep sections) and from there, down through the woods to the former Tassara mine.

The Dosso Rotondo refuge is located in the Adamello Natural Park area, at about 1,900 meters above sea level. The structure is immersed in a breathtaking landscape, with a view of the surrounding peaks and the suggestive Lake Idro. Reachable via paths that wind through woods and alpine meadows, the refuge is an ideal place for a stop to enjoy typical dishes of the mountain tradition. Thanks to its position, it also offers numerous itineraries for those who want to continue towards other higher destinations or simply explore the surroundings.

From here you decide whether to take the Crocedomini pass, or descend from the Baremone Pass, or descend from Bagolino, or from Valtrompia

Reachable via the Creste di Montecampione, from Plan 1800 you follow the entire high street along the ridge, passing the round hill and continuing up to San Zeno sopra Pisogne. Spectacular views of Val Camonica, Val Trompia and the Po Valley.

A famous pass in the Brescian Pre-Alps, the Crocedomini has a very long history (it is said that Emperor Frederick Barbarossa passed through here in the 12th century) and is almost 1,900 meters above sea level. It represents a real challenge for those who decide to tackle it by bicycle: from Bagolino it is a 22 kilometer climb at an average 5%, while the Breno side is even harder, around 20 kilometers at an average 7.5%. You can also get to Crocedomini in a third way, that is, through the splendid partly dirt road (very simple gravel) that comes from the south, from the Maniva pass.
