Monte Lastroni Summit (2449 m)

From the Lakes of Olbe optional, but recommended, the climb to Monte Lastroni, a lived mountain, marked by the continuous presence of war testimonies. The whole area represented the Italian defense line during the First World War. From the lakes take the old military path (trail sign 138) on the eastern side. A long traverse goes to gain the edge of the ridge, passing the remains of military buildings and the entrance to a tunnel. Once under the summit dome, the path climbs in a zigzag with a couple of turns that reassemble the short southern escarpment. From the small notch with observatory, you rise on the right on easy rocky steps that lead to the final ridge and the sober summit cross (30-40 minutes from the Olbe Lakes with 280 d +). While easy, the arrival at the top gives the right adrenaline, also for the exposure towards the Val Visdende. From the top you can enjoy a magnificent panorama of Mount Peralba, Chiadenis, Val Sesis and the whole border line with Austria and Carnia. The descent is mandatory on the same ascent route.
