Cima d'Oro, Mountain summit in Ledro, Italy
Cima d'Oro is a mountain summit near Ledro that rises to about 1,800 meters (5,900 feet). The peak can be reached by several hiking routes that pass through forests and open terrain.
During World War I the Austro-Hungarian army fortified Cima d'Oro as part of its main resistance line in the Ledro Valley. The mountain was never attacked by Italian infantry. Trenches, tunnels and caverns from that period remain visible on the summit and ridge.
The summit cross stands on a massive concrete base, a landmark visible from the ridge. Hikers reach it via SAT trails 453, 451 and 413, which connect villages around Lake Ledro such as Mezzolago and Molina di Ledro to the Bocca Dromae and Bocca Giumella passes.
The hike to the summit is demanding and requires good fitness and proper equipment. The route climbs steeply and includes forest paths that can be slippery in wet conditions.
