Breathtaking view of Lake Iseo and the Camonica Valley

A true highlight of Lake Iseo: The viewpoint at San Defendente above Riva di Solto offers a spectacular panoramic view of the entire lake and the Camonica Valley. The unobstructed view of the striking Corna Trentapassi, which rises steeply from the water, is particularly impressive.

This short hike is worthwhile in any season: In spring, countless wild herbs bloom here, in summer the water glows a deep blue, and in autumn the surrounding slopes turn colorful. On a clear day, the view extends to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps in the background.

Highlights:
• Fantastic viewpoint with a 180-degree panorama
• Perfect for photos and short breaks
• Well-marked hiking trails from Zorzino / Riva di Solto
• Less frequented, ideal for quiet moments
• Also suitable for families and moderate hikers


Tip: In the late afternoon, the light creates a particularly beautiful play of colors on the lake – the perfect time for unforgettable photos!

Trail conditions:
Mostly well-maintained paths, a bit steep in places, but easily manageable with normal hiking gear. Suitable for children ages 6 and up.

San Defendente

Highlight • Religious Site

The nature trail (CAI trail 565 C) follows ancient high-altitude paths and the central point of the excursions is the summit where San Defendente stands at an altitude of 674 m, in the territory of Esmate. San Defendente offers an extraordinary view of the lake, from Lovere to Monte Isola to the southern shore, and of Corna Trentapassi, the imposing and steep mountain that dominates the Brescia shore. For this reason, it is among the most beloved places in Solto Collina, a destination for walks and a popular festival on the first Sunday of July. The church is currently managed by the local Alpini group.
Documents from 1574 onwards attest to bequests for the construction or renovation of the building, which was looked after over the centuries by lay people living in the structure annexed to the church.
The church is canonically oriented with the facade to the west and the presbytery to the east.
