This hike took me to the stunning region around Lake Garda in Northern Italy. I discovered this hidden cliffside church by chance while researching new projects. The pictures looked so spectacular, and I instantly knew I had to see this for myself. The nearby mountain range made for the perfect hiking challenge to complement the visit.
I began my journey in Ferrara di Monte Baldo, starting the long ascent to the mountain ridge. Once at the top, I headed north to the summit of "Cima Valdritta" (2,218m), where I set up camp for the night.
The next day, I continued south along the ridge, passing "Punta Pettorina," "Cima Telegrafo," "Vetta delle Buse," and finally "Rifugio G. Chierego," where I had my breakfast. From there, I descended into the valley, all the way to "Spiazzi," where the breathtaking Church is nestled. I stayed a couple of days in Spiazzi to absorb the atmosphere and visit the sanctuary multiple times. It was an incredible adventure, and I hope to have captured some of those “Zen” moments that I experienced.
I hope you enjoy the incredible views of my hiking adventure. If you do, please like and subscribe to my channel for more!
