SPORT

Mount Maddalena is one of the most popular sports destinations for the people of Brescia, thanks to its variety of trails and its proximity to the city. Its paths wind through chestnut and beech woods, offering perfect routes for hiking and mountain running, with panoramic views stretching over the plain and Lake Garda.

It is also a reference point for mountain biking and downhill enthusiasts, with tracks of varying difficulty descending toward the valley.

The limestone cliffs are very popular with rock climbers, while from the summit, hang gliding and paragliding can be enjoyed, taking advantage of the favorable air currents and breathtaking views.

Throughout the year, sporting events such as “Maddalena by Night” take place, combining sport, nature, and community spirit in a natural setting of great charm.
