the climb is particularly steep but short. I do not recommend the very direct road that from Pian del Lupo climbs to the summit which consists of furrows dug by motorcyclists.

Mount Carevolo is 1,552 m high.
It can be easily reached from Passo del Mercatello or Passo Crociglia.
The climbs from Cattaragna or Gambaro are longer and more demanding.

In addition to the view that hikers can enjoy here on Monte CAREVOLO (provided the weather is good), the summit cross that crowns the mountain is also interesting and worth a closer look: the longitudinal and cross beams are not fully constructed, but only as a frame. In the resulting free space of the inner cross, the body of the crucified Christ is indicated with just a few lines. However, the lively lines do not suggest the suffering Christ hanging on the cross, but it seems to me as if the artist wanted to indicate the overcoming of death and suffering when designing it and thus gave the summit cross of Monte Carevolo an Easter perspective.
