TREKKING

The pleasure of walking among the mountains of the Brembana Valley

Trekking is a complete activity for the body and the curious mind: while you walk, you can admire extraordinary landscapes.

The Brembana Valley offers many opportunities for trekking lovers. From the historical centre of Carona, following the indicated paths, you can reach the summits of the Bergamasque PreAlps (called “Orobie”). Here you can find the paths:

Rifugio Calvi

Starting from the hairpin turn located just above the town, you follow the service road, a dirt road, which leads to the hamlet of Pagliari. Continuing, you walk near the waterfalls of the Sambuzza Valley and the locality called “Dosso”. Then you continue on an easiest path, having the opportunity of admiring the lake Prato, the Costa della Mersa cabin and the lake Fregabolgia. You reach the Rifugio Calvi mountain hut, located at an altitude of 2006 metres, following a flat path that runs along the lake.
Height difference: around 850 metres
Duration: 3 hours

Rifugio Laghi Gemelli

The path starts from the Carona lake, going through a beautiful fir tree wood, thus reaching the Rifugio Fratelli Calvi mountain hut. If you continue, you reach the lake Marcio’s dam, which, if you run along it, continues to the paths leading the lake Becco and then the lake “delle Casere”. If you cross the small bridge located in the Gorno Valley, you’ll walk by a “casera” (mountain hut), then continuing towards the Rifugio Laghi Gemelli mountain hut (1961 metres), where you can admire the two lakes and the surrounding environment.
