Presena Glacier

<p>Downhill hike from Capanna Presena to Lago del Monticello, through landscapes shaped by glaciers and testimony of the Great War at Passo del Tonale.</p>

<p>Starting from Capanna Presena (2,753 m), this short downhill hike leads to Lago del Monticello, a glacial basin nestled between the peaks of Presena and Tonale. The trail, simple and panoramic, crosses high mountain environments recently freed by retreating glaciers, offering a unique glimpse into the power of nature. Along the path you can admire the Brotherhood Monument and the Paradiso Gallery – “Sounds and Voices of the White War” – with testimonies of the First World War fought here, at over 2,500 meters altitude. You will also encounter remains of trenches and Austro-Hungarian and Italian positions that recall the harsh living conditions of the soldiers. Upon reaching Lago del Monticello, the turquoise waters reflect the surrounding peaks, giving a moment of silence and contemplation before returning to Tonale. A hike that combines history, nature, and spectacular glacial landscapes.</p>
