WHY THIS HIKE

Lake Vallone, a jewel of the Orobie

A hidden pearl among the rocks.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

Lago del Vallone is one of those places that seem guarded by the mountain itself: a crystal basin set into a glacial bowl of rare beauty, at the foot of the rocky buttresses of Pizzo Torretta and the Corni di Sardegnana. Its water mirrors walls that drop sheer into the lake, and the landscape hangs suspended. With the Guidders we reach a corner that remains little known, where very few people go.

5 reasons to come - Lago del Vallone, a hidden pearl of the Orobie - sheer walls mirrored in the water - the glacial bowl at the foot of Pizzo Torretta - the Corni di Sardegnana closing the horizon - a place where you meet almost nobody

Who it suits A climb on mountain path with rocky sections: good fitness and a sure step are needed.

A forgotten Orobie diamond: come and find it with the Guidders.
