Nago - Monte Corno

An amazing view of lake Garda

A route in mountain bike from Nago to Monte Corno, length: 14,2 km.

A narrow asphalt path climbs up to the north of village of Nago towards the rocky slopes of Mounts Brugnolo and Creino. About 3000m after the Hotel Nago, on the left, you meet a seriously steep rise which in places turn into a real cliff (you need a mini toothed chain and huge sprockets) and goes as far as Capedello.
But when the first fields and meadows of Corno appear the amazing view of the lake you get from here makes it all worth while. To the left of the first stone house you come to after the ascent a level section brings you to a cross-roads signposted for Creino-Santa Barbara.
Take the right at the next cross-roads and start to climb again up this only partly asphalted mule track which is hard work right to the top. As the route eases up take the little road to the left which starts to descend and then widens before joining the Corno road. Turn to the left again onto a difficult cobbled section and at the first hairpin, left again taking the path that leads down to the main road (240) and go back towards Nago.
