Set off and you cross one of the most famous stretches of the entire pre-Alpine arc - in fact, the section that runs between the passes: Maniva and Crocedomini consists of more than ten kilometers above 2,000 meters above sea level.
From Rifugio Crocedomini descend in a swoop to the west: the Camonica Valley awaits, from here proceed south - so you can catch a glimpse of Lake Iseo.
Reach Pisogne, a lakeside town on the western tip of the lake - start the climb slowly, it's really tough and reaches very high temperatures in summer - but don't give up.

From the lakeshore you reach the Colle di San Zeno pass - 1,400 meters above sea level - here you can drink and eat and recover your energy to face the second climb of the day: in fact, you will have to reach the Maniva Pass from the Trompia Valley.
