Signpost to Passo di RangoPhoto: Annette Wimmer, Outdooractive Premium
The perfect route if you are looking for an introspective trekking experience, not devoted to wide panoramic views, but rather to listening to the sounds, scents and colours of the forest.
The route mainly takes place within a pine, fir and beech forest, with some clearings offering views over the wild side of Val di Ledro.The starting point is in Rango, characterised by meadows and a few well-kept cottages, where you will find Palazzo di Rango, a building decorated during World War I and used as a command post for Italian officers to garrison and control the Austrian lines.After paying a visit to the historical building, the route continues along trails (SAT 450, 458 and 467) that wind their way up and down and lead, through gentle slopes - except for the last section towards the summit - and in the shade of trees to the summit of Monte Stigolo (1696 m).
Author’s recommendation
There are no bivouacs, you must go back to the valley to find a place to spend the night.In Rango, park your car or bike and visit 'Palazzo di Rango', built in 1916 by soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 66th Infantry Regiment.The walls are decorated with emblems of the Royal Army, coats of arms of the Savoy family and inscriptions of commanders, including Major Li Gobbi.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Safety information
You should know that:
- The itinerary is well marked, but it can be useful to use GPX-Tracks in case of doubt during the hike.
- There are no refreshment points in the valley, so it is necessary to bring water and food. During the mountaineering season (end of June - beginning of September) it is possible to stock up on water at the two alpine huts along the route.
- Reception is poor over long stretches.
- Reaching the village of Rango, the starting point of this hike, takes time both by bike and by car, since it is located 1650 m above sea level.
Note: As you can imagine, the practicality of itineraries in a mountain environment is closely linked to contingent conditions and is therefore subject to natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may be subject to change. Check the status of the route with local tourist offices before setting off.
Tips and suggestions
Sources and springs: no water sources on the entire route.

Roadbook
From the Caffaro State Road (SS 237), enter the Cimego industrial area, then follow the signs to Malga Caino (reachable by car or bike). Once there, continue for a further 5 km along the asphalted forest road to Rango-Gneson, where the SAT Trail 450 begins, opposite a small capital. Follow the SAT Trail 450 until it meets the SAT Trail 458 at Passo Rango. Turn right towards Cima Delvisì (southwards) and follow the same Trail 458 until reaching the summit (1590 m). Beyond the summit, continue south along the ridge, until you reach the turn-off for Monte Stigolo (trail marker 467), and take the trail to the summit. On the return journey, follow the same trail backwards, until you cross the Latet trail marker. Follow the new direction until you reach a forest road, which leads to a mountain road. Keep to the right, heading north, to quickly go back to the starting point.
Public transport
You cannot reach the starting point by public transport.
Directions
Upon reaching the intersection that leads to the town of Cimego on State Road 237 'del Caffaro' (whether you are coming from the south—Brescia—or the north—Madonna di Campiglio, Trento, Bolzano), follow the signs for Malga Caino. Then, continue along the paved forest road until you reach the location of Rango.
Parking
You can park in the turnouts along the forest road in Rango.
