Monte Serodine

At an elevation of 2,539 m (8330 ft.), and with a prominence of 79 m (259 ft.), Monte Serodine forms part of the Southern Rhaetian Alps. It is situated close to the city of Brescia, in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy, Italy.

From the parking lot, follow the dirt road along trail No. 63, which leads to the chairlift, and further, to Malga Negritella. From Malga Negritella, keep going along the dirt road that turns widely to the right. Alternatively, climb directly up the ski slope to the right of the canal that flows through the central valley. Expect to reach a grassy plateau, from where the upper station of the chairlift is visible, just below the Bleis pond.

Upon turning left, visitors will see an old military path (characterized by the remains of stone walls), which goes up to the northern ridge of the mountain. From this point, approach Monte Serodine from the east side or the west side. Near the summit, there is a ridge. Continue from there on the path of small humps and troughs until it reaches a steep grassy stretch with loose stones and a small wooden cross.

Special Note: Hikers and climbers may need an ice ax and crampons during the winter months. Proceed cautiously due to the possibility of ice and loose rocks.
