WHY THIS TREK

Tent Camping at the Torena Lakes

Sleeping in a tent beside an alpine lake, far from any light.

Group chat before departure
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the Val Belviso and climb through woods, high pastures and glacial basins to the Laghi di Torena, one of the wildest corners of the Valtellina Orobie: Lago Nero, Lago Lavazza and Lago Verde, set among polished rock. Once there we pitch camp and time slows down: photographs, supper together, sunset on the mountains and then a night of stars with no city glow. In the morning you wake to first light on the water.

5 reasons to come - a night under canvas beside the Laghi di Torena - three different lakes in the same basin - sunset and sunrise over the Valtellina Orobie - a sky with no artificial light in it - the Val Belviso, wild and little walked

Who it suits Two days with a tent in your pack: you need decent fitness and a taste for sleeping out.

Some memories last for good: come and make one with the Guidders.
