WHY THIS TREK

Lake Aviolo and the Valerio Festa bivouac

A granite lake, and a night in a bivouac hut.

Group chat before departure
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

Day 1. We set off with the Guidders from Rifugio alla Cascata and climb the wild Val Paghera, carried along by the sound of streams, to Lago Aviolo, set between granite walls and pasture. From there we carry on to the Bivacco Valerio Festa, where we spend the night surrounded by the silence of high ground.

Day 2. We cross the panoramic Passo delle Plate and stop at Rifugio Sandro Occhi all'Aviolo, before the loop descent back to the valley.

5 reasons to come - the night at the Bivacco Valerio Festa - Lago Aviolo, between granite and alpine pasture - the Passo delle Plate and its view - the Val Paghera, wild and full of water - a true loop that does not return the same way

Who it suits Two days with a good deal of climbing and distance: fitness and a sure step on alpine ground are needed.

High Brescia mountains, with a night inside them: come with the Guidders.
