Monte Manos

Monte Manos is a mountain summit reaching about 1,517 meters in the Brescia and Garda Prealps of the Southern Limestone Alps. The peak sits within a range marked by mixed terrain of rocky slopes and unpaved paths.

The mountain served as an essential geographical reference for local communities as settlements developed throughout Brescia province. Its location made it a natural landmark for orienting travelers and traders across the region.

Local people gather medicinal herbs and mushrooms on its slopes, following seasonal patterns that have been part of life here for generations. These activities connect residents to the mountain and the rhythm of nature throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the summit via different routes, including mountain biking trails that start from nearby lakes like Lago d'Idro. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the paths are dry and easier to navigate.

From the summit, visitors can see both high alpine peaks and lower prealpine landscapes at the same time, creating a rare view of this geographical transition. This view shows clearly how northern Italy's mountain regions shift from higher elevations to gentler terrain.
