Embark on the Cima Carega Loop from Rifugio Revolto for a challenging hike that rewards you with diverse and spectacular scenery. This difficult route spans 10.2 miles (16.4 km) and involves a significant elevation gain of 3625 feet (1105 metres). You will start by winding through thick forests, which gradually give way to expansive grassy valleys and alpine pastures as you climb, culminating in a magnificent 360-degree panorama from the Cima Carega summit cross. Plan for approximately 7 hours and 8 minutes to complete this demanding journey.
When planning your visit, remember that the trail typically begins from Rifugio Revolto, which is accessible by car from Giazza. It's crucial to check conditions before you go, especially during winter months. Snow can make the landscape beautiful, but it also means the route requires expert hikers equipped with crampons for safety. Always be prepared for alpine conditions and ensure you have the right gear for a full day out in the mountains.
This loop offers more than just a physical challenge; it provides a unique perspective of the Lessinia regional park, Monte Baldo, Monte Cornetto, and Pasubio from its highest point. The transition from dense woodland to open alpine vistas above 2000 meters creates a memorable experience. This trail is a prime example of the rugged beauty found in the region, making it a notable adventure for those seeking a true mountain hiking experience.

This demanding trail will take you approximately 7 hours and 11 minutes to complete, guiding you through varied terrain.

This trail offers a unique glimpse into the region's rich history, starting in a historic Cimbrian village where ancient Germanic heritage is still visible in old pathways and stone plaques. As you ascend, you will encounter unique natural features like Lago Secco, known for its rare lady's slipper orchids that bloom in late spring. The journey also provides a chance to enjoy local delicacies, such as fresh yogurt and cheeses at Malga Campobrun, or the popular apple cake at Rifugio Scalorbi, all while taking in panoramas that stretch towards the Piccole Dolomiti.
