Monte Altissimo di Nago, Mountain in Trentino, Italy
Monte Altissimo di Nago is a mountain in Trentino, Italy, rising to 2078 meters. It stands above the northern shore of Lake Garda and offers wide views over the lake and the surrounding peaks.
During World War I, the mountain was part of the front line between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces. Traces of trenches and fortifications can still be seen along the trails.
The mountain is a favorite spot for local hikers, who often start early to catch the sunrise over the lake. In summer, families come up for picnics and to enjoy the cool air.
You can drive most of the way up and then walk a short distance to the top. The paths are marked, but bring water and a jacket because the weather changes quickly at this height.
The summit has a large cross that is lit at night, visible from far below. On clear days, you can see the Dolomites and the Po Valley at the same time.
