About the event
The Bivouac Marino Bassi is located on a hill, at about 2000 m, in the Alta Val di Fra, in the wonderful naturalistic area of the Valgrigna Forest. With a simple excursion we will reach the bivouac and organize the evening together, cooking on the stove and enjoying the immersion in the wild nature all to ourselves.
The following day we will reach the Nicchia di San Glisente and the Passo delle Sette Crocette, places that evoke distant legends, to reach the summit of Monte Crestoso, the highest peak in Val Trompia, from which we will be able to admire a fantastic panorama!
