Cornetto - Stivo traverse

The departure takes place from the Viote parking lot, from where you gradually climb towards the Bondone group until you reach Cornetto del Bondone, or simply Monte Cornetto, which appears on the map around 2178 m. This is the first major climb of the day and quickly gains altitude, so it is already quite a physical part. From there begins the most beautiful but also longest part of the tour: the traverse along the ridge/crest. You proceed south following the ridge line passing various elevations and panoramic points: Campo Fiorito → La Becca → Carbonil → Rocchetta → Palon → Cima Alta → La Bassa / Madonnina This section is very scenic because it remains high and open, with continuous views towards Valle dei Laghi, Vallagarina, Baldo, Stivo and the Bondone group. However, it is also a part not to underestimate: although it is not always a single ascent, the route continues with small ups and downs, so the elevation gain accumulates a lot. After the Bassa / Madonnina area, you face the last significant climb to the cross of Monte Stivo, around 2054 m. This is probably one of the most mentally tiring parts, as it comes after many kilometers already covered, but it is also the symbolic point of the tour. From the Stivo cross begins then the long final descent towards Santa Barbara / Ronzo-Chienis, up to the Bar Mountain K2 parking lot.
