WHY THIS HIKE
Foppazzi peak, between Grem and Arera
A unique itinerary that will take us to almost 2100 meters, crossing an often underestimated territory: the one that leads from Zambla to the Mistri basin, where Cima Grem rises to the left, Monte Golla to the right, and Cima Foppazzi to the north, offering a unique panorama of Pizzo Arera and the Bergamo Alps.

Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
Put your backpack on your shoulder, lace up your boots, take a deep breath, and start walking in a beech forest before entering wide pastures until you reach the high Orobie lands!
I will accompany you at the right pace to the destination and then take a break at the Bivacco Mistri for a cup of hot tea!
