Monte Padrio

A must-do hike from Trivigno to Monte Padrio

 

From the cross-country ski track car park in Trivigno, head right onto the asphalt for roughly 400 metres before turning left onto a dirt road until you reach an elevation of 1,899 metres on a hairpin turn. An easy path juts off to the right here, leading you to the grassy plateau that will lead you up to the summit.

From the top, make the most of the majestic views that span a full 360° over Valtellina, Valposchiavo and Val Camonica. On clear days, you may be lucky enough to spot the Gran Paradiso mountain range and Cervino's distinctive giant tooth. 

Since 2019, hikers have been able to orientate themselves using the compass rose that indicates the visible peaks with arrows and cardinal directions, which was donated to celebrate 75 years of the Club Alpino Italiano Tirano.
