The excursion to reach the
Passo di Campo, is rather long but easy, and takes place entirely on an excellent mule track, which represents the indispensable approach for the climb to peaks of
Monte Re di Castello and
Monte Campellio, two prestigious peaks reserved for
experienced hikers.
Even stopping at the pace, the trip is however very advisable for the vast and suggestive visible views, with the along
Lake Arno in the foreground: it is the first artificial basin of the Adamello group, built in the very early 1900s and containing 36.6 million cubic meters of water.
At the
Passo di Campo, very popular even in the past centuries for commercial purposes, there are also significant remains of the military works carried out by Italian troops during the course of World War I.
From the town of Cedegolo in
Val Camonica (81 kilometers from
Brescia), turn right entering the wooded
Valle di Saviore, until reach the small hamlet of
La Rasega (1158 meters altitude, about 13 kilometers from Cedegolo).
The excursion starts from an open space before the sports field, from which you cross the
Poia di Adamè stream on a bridge, and then bend right towards the valley and immediately after to left (signs on site).
Then follow the wide mule track that, in the woods, goes up the left river slope of the valley (direction southwest). After passing
Malga Campellio (1611 meters) you reach, now beyond the wooded soldier, to the marked western ridge of
Monte Zucchello, which wanders with a stretch even downhill , thus entering the wide basin of
Lake Arno, clearly visible beneath us.
Now begins a long crossing halfway — the so-called “Traversera” - flat or slightly uphill, which without possibility of error leads (heading east) to the narrow carving of
Passo di Campo, on the border with
Trentino and
Val di Fumo: 2288 meters, 4 hours from the start.
The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes 3 hours.
