WHY THIS HIKE

Rifugio Albani Hike, Presolana

Ever dreamed of walking with the Presolana right in front of you? Today's the day: we climb, we push, we arrive. And the view rewards every single step.

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

The experience

We start from the cable car parking area in Carbonera, in the morning, ready to warm up our legs. It begins with a steep paved road, no shortcuts there, then the forest welcomes us with some shade. We cross the Rino stream on a wooden bridge, keep climbing along the narrow Orobie trails, until the woods open up and she appears: the north face of the Presolana, massive, right in front of us. Soon after, the silhouette of Rifugio Albani comes into view, at 1939 meters, the last stop on the Sentiero delle Orobie, known for its authentic Bergamo-style cuisine.

Why join us: - Breathtaking views of the queen of the Orobie Alps - A real trail, through forest, stream, and climb - Arrival at the refuge with traditional Bergamo dishes - A group experience, not just a hike

Book your spot and discover it with the Guidders: this is how mountains are meant to be lived, together.
