WHY THIS HIKE
A protected valley that changes colour in autumn
Autumn in Valsanguigno is pure poetry: the woods light up in a thousand shades, the meadows are carpeted in gold and the clear water of the stream reflects the foliage like a natural mirror. It is a protected valley, a nature reserve, and you can tell how untouched it has stayed.
Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
We climb from Valgoglio along the trail up the valley to the Baita Alta of Monte Zulino (1,747 m), a perfect balcony for taking in Valsanguigno in full autumn dress, with the Orobie closing it off behind.
It is 11 kilometres and 800 metres of ascent: a moving walk, among leaves crunching underfoot and views that change at every bend. We have a packed lunch at the hut.
This is an intermediate hike: 800 metres of ascent over eleven kilometres, on a marked trail with no technical difficulty. Bring hiking boots, water and a packed lunch: there are no open huts along the way.
Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's walk Valsanguigno together.

Easy
Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.
Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.
Easy Plus
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate — this outing
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!
Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.
Intermediate Plus
When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers
Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths
Difficult
Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.
Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.
Difficult Plus
Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.
Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.

Un’escursione rilassante in quel paradiso selvaggio e incontaminato che é la Valsanguigno. Nonostante fosse metà ottobre (periodo ideale per il foliage) la temperatura mite ci ha concesso un pranzo al sacco con annesso riposino sotto il sole sul monte Zulino.
