Monte Pizzocolo

Veneto

Monte Pizzocolo (1,581 m) rises from the western shore of Lake Garda on the Brescia side. The forest approach through old chestnut and oak gives way to open ridge limestone. The summit cross is visible from almost anywhere on the northern lake. A rarely climbed peak despite stunning views.
