WHY THIS HIKE

Corno Zuccone and tasting

A balcony over the Val Taleggio, and the cheeses that made it famous waiting in the village.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Pizzino, one of the valley's stone villages, and climb at an easy pace through beech woods and clearings. The path is wide and well trodden, the climb steady but never steep, and it brings us below Corno Zuccone: a natural balcony looking out over the Val Taleggio, the Val Brembana and the Orobie foothills. After a stop up top we close the loop on a different path, between barns and pastures. Down in the village a tasting of the valley's cheeses is waiting — Taleggio, Strachitunt, local bread and cured meats — and it is included in the price.

5 reasons to come - the view from Corno Zuccone across three valleys - a proper loop, up one path and down another - the beech woods and clearings of the Val Taleggio - the Taleggio and Strachitunt tasting, included - the stone villages of the valley

Who it suits A steady, never steep climb on a wide path: fine for anyone new to the mountains and for families with children used to walking.

Nature and flavours in the same day: come to the Val Taleggio with the Guidders.
