WHY THIS HIKE

Mezzeno peak via Marogella Pass

A high ridge, with the John Paul II cross.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Barenzini, above Valcanale, and follow path CAI 220 towards Rifugio Alpe Corte, then up to Cima di Mezzeno, also known as Cima Giovanni Paolo II. The ridge is high and open, with views ranging across the Orobie pre-Alps, and the Passo di Marogella marks the point where the circuit changes character. It is an accessible objective, suitable for walkers of every level and for families too.

5 reasons to come - Cima di Mezzeno and its cross - Rifugio Alpe Corte along the route - the high ridge, open across the whole Orobie range - the Passo di Marogella - an accessible objective, families included

Who it suits An accessible route on a well-marked CAI path: fine for walkers of every level, families included.

Breathtaking views without the sacrifice: come with the Guidders.
