Vacation apartment in Edolo: Church art and mountain trails on Adamello

When choosing a vacation apartment in Edolo, you can consider culture and mountain trails as two focal points of your trip planning. Churches, historical traces and mountain trails offer different starting points for this – from Renaissance art to mountain landscapes on Adamello. The varying trail lengths also provide different planning options for your trip.

Church art and historical traces

The Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista is a Renaissance church dedicated to Edolo’s patron saint, Saint John the Baptist. The church preserves frescoes by Paolo da Caylina il Giovane, who worked there from around 1530 to 1535. The Pieve di Santa Maria Nascente has a 68-metre-high bell tower, the tallest in Valle Camonica.

The present form of the Chiesa dei SS. Ippolito e Cassiano di Mu dates back to the 18th century. The vaults of its presbytery and nave are almost entirely covered with frescoes. The Castello (Mu district) is the ruin of a medieval fortification already mentioned in documents from the 13th century. The archaeological site of Castello di Mu belongs to UNESCO World Heritage Site No. 94, “Rock Art in Valle Camonica”.

Hiking trails and mountain landscapes

Sentiero n. 634 – Cima Aviolo begins in Località Pozzuolo in the municipality of Edolo and leads into the broad basin below Monte Aviolo.

171 – Sentiero dei Cervi, Dosso Turicla begins at the chapel in Località Mola and follows an old military mule track through a larch forest. The trail passes through a wildlife protection zone where deer and other wild animals can be observed during the hike. It also leads to still-visible anti-aircraft machine-gun positions from the First World War.

The Alta Via dell’Adamello – Sentiero No. 601 is an almost 85-kilometre-long long-distance hiking trail from Breno to the area in front of Adamello’s north wall, ending in Edolo, or vice versa. It runs within the area of Parco dell’Adamello. Thanks to access and connecting trails from each main valley, it can also be completed in stages as shorter hikes.

The 7th stage of the Cammino di Carlo Magno also runs for 20.2 kilometres from Grevo to Edolo. The distance provides a concrete basis for planning the day’s hike. For mountain-bike planning, the MTB itinerary Sentiero dei Cervi, Dosso Turicla can also be reached from Edolo via the SS39 and Via Primavera to the chapel in Località Mola.
