The Bosco degli Gnomi (Gnomes' Forest) in Zone is one of the most fairytale-like and beloved places in Sebino: an easy and evocative trail where 44 wooden sculptures, carved by Luigi Zatti known as Il Rosso, accompany the hiker along the mule track that climbs towards Monte Guglielmo. It is perfect for families, photographers, and for those who want a "magical" access to Palmarusso and then Almici. 🌲 Bosco degli Gnomi — Essential information - Location: Zone (BS), trail start at Goi de la Tromba – Polset - Trail marker: 227 - Duration: about 1 hour for the "fairytale" part - Difficulty: easy, but with short steep climbs - Sculptures: 44 works carved into trunks from 1998 onwards - Artist: Luigi Zatti (Il Rosso), local farmer-sculptor - Suitable for: families, children, hikers heading towards Palmarusso/Almici/Guglielmo - Services: picnic tables along the route

It's no longer self-managed. Now it's a fully-fledged refuge. Food, a dormitory... but above all, a breathtaking terrace overlooking Lake Iseo.

Nice, a little less crowded than the top. We're going to take a couple of photos with the view.

Refuge run by a very kind young couple, they are also open in winter, but it is better to call first to be sure, excellent food, perfect as a break before the last stretch of climb. In addition to the kitchen, they also offer dormitory accommodation. If so, look for them as Rifugio Palmarusso.
