WHY THIS HIKE

Literary Foliage in Val Trompia

Autumn in Val Trompia turns red and gold. The forest smells of dry leaves, afternoon light warms every trail. It's the perfect moment to unplug and walk through the colors of the season.

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

The experience

We start from the Caregno Plateau and climb towards the CAI Valtrompia Refuge, surrounded by spectacular foliage and crisp air. Along the way, Pattina_Bookevents leads us through small literature-themed activities: curiosities, stories, book talk that make every step special. At the refuge we share lunch together, then comes the best part: a silent reading party. Bring your favorite book, find your spot in the woods, and read in silence. Afterwards, if you want, share what you've read with the group.

Why join us - Autumn foliage through the woods of Val Trompia - Original literature-themed activities along the trail - Silent reading party with a mountain view - Lunch at altitude in a unique atmosphere

Grab a book, save your spot: the Guidders are waiting for an adventure that smells like autumn and stories.

VERTIGO RISK
WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU GO
✓
BEFORE YOU GO
Go to sleep early, have a good breakfast and drink something before you leave: 4h30 of walking and 400 m of ascent are waiting for you, if you occasionally take a long walk you're good to go. Bring your packed lunch, since it's not included at the refuge. Bring your favourite book with you: along the way there will be literary-themed activities and, at the refuge, a silent reading moment together with the group.
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
Trekking boots, water supply, a snack, your packed lunch and a windproof jacket. Dress in layers, bring warm gloves and a cap: autumn in the mountains can surprise you. Don't forget your favourite book for the silent reading party at the refuge. Always with you: a plaster, a disinfectant wipe and a small bag for your rubbish.

Campedei Spring
We climb through the forest, now painted in shades of yellow and red, as the trail grows steeper on the way to the Campedei spring. The crisp air and the light filtering through the branches make this stretch truly spectacular.

Rifugio CAI Valtrompia — lunch break and silent reading
Here we are at Rifugio CAI Valtrompia, in the Pontogna area: we stop for lunch surrounded by the autumn woods, soaking in that warm, cosy atmosphere typical of the season's end. A perfect milestone to enjoy together with the Guidders before setting off again. Outside the refuge, we'll take some time to read our book quietly and, for those who'd like to, share why they chose to bring it along on this trek. Lunch at the refuge may be available, depending on opening.
E
16:00WATER
Arrival back at the cars in Caregno
We retrace the same trail downhill through the autumn forest colors back to Piani di Caregno. Once the hike is done with the Guidders, we enjoy a cold beer or a coke together before heading home.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Mirko, a mid-mountain leader. I grew up among the hills of Franciacorta, where my passion for mountains and nature was born: a passion that over the years has taken me to extraordinary places, from Lapland to Madeira. But it's among the mountains at home, in the Bergamo and Brescia valleys, that I feel in my element — a tireless walker, curious and attached to this land. In 2022 I earned my qualification after an intense training path with the Collegio delle Guide Alpine of Lombardy. I love sharing quiet trails, exploratory routes and unusual paths, to experience nature genuinely, between discovery, competence and a pinch of adventure. 🥾🌄 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
