About the event

With its famous and characteristic heart shape, Lake Gelt is located in one of the most beautiful and wild corners of the Bergamo Orobie, which includes some of the most important peaks of this chain: Pizzo del Diavolo della Malgina, Pizzo Strinato, Cime di Caronella, for not to mention the 3000 m of Orobie which are all within walking distance.

With a two-day itinerary, we will go up the Serio valley, admiring its natural and artificial beauties: lakes, dams and wild peaks all around us. 

The stopping point will be the beautiful Barbellino refuge, located in a splendid position near the natural lake of the same name, which will refresh us with its excellent cuisine.
