Itinerary
Welcome to Peschiera Maraglio , the village that welcomes almost all visitors to Monte Isola… and does so with a certain style. Get ready to explore this area!
Sensole is a small, charming village on Monte Isola. We’ll just be passing through and won’t see much but there are cool stories that I want to share with you!
Smallest village in Monte Isola but.. still few things to mention about it! Also we can stop here for a water break or gelato break!
Built in the 14th century by the Oldofredi family , this fortress sits on a rocky outcrop. As a private building, we will be able to see it only from the outside!
Here we are at the island’s official capital, nestled about 250 meters above lake level! The biggest church of the island is in this village but also some curiosities about.. nets!
A small gem built in 1734 that worth a visit! Even from here you can enjoy both the beauty of the church and the view of Lake Iseo.
It's certainly a strenuous climb up there... but what a view! Once you reach the top, the feeling is truly breathtaking! Reaching the "Santuario" is not mandatory for the tour but I included some info also about this wonderful area!
A picturesque village famous for the fantastic "Flower Festival." It is also a good place to take a break on the village's comfortable beach. We will also talk about a very important thing for the island: salami!

Excellent experience with the digital guide. We cycled wonderfully on the island and sometimes made a stop. Also eaten something on arrival on the island at one of the tips! You can do it at your own pace, which is nice.
Detailed audio, very convenient for exploring the island. They can be listened to whenever you want and are also accompanied by text and images. Recommended.
Interesting, always wear earphones. I did it by bike but it's okay cmq. You stop where you care. Put your bike down and visit
It's a nice day. The tour of the island takes a couple of hours and if you insert it visit the sanctuary something more. Cute curiosities of the individual villages. For the price, super recommended.
Monte Isola is really cool for a day trip and this digital guide was a great tool! We spent the whole day in the island and having some info on every small village was practical. I also loved the food tips; I usually don’t like salame, but the one that I had with Franciacorta wine was amazing! Well done!
