WHY THIS HIKE

The hidden lakes of Cardeto

I laghi di Cardeto sono 3 gioielli alpini, incastonati nella conca ai piedi del Monte Madonnino. Siamo sopra l'abitato di Gromo, in Val Seriana, uno dei borghi più belli d'Italia, sopra al quale si apre questa vallata. Il sentiero alterna tratti panoramici a zone boscose, risalendo prima più deciso, e poi dolcemente a un mezzacosta che entra nella piana dei laghi. È un luogo unico, che merita una visita in ogni stagione: in primavera per l'emozionante disgelo che ricopre i prati di Crocus, d'estate per i suoi conosciuti "mirtilli del Cardeto" (una vera delizia!!), in autunno per i suoi colori, e in inverno per la bellezza dei laghi ghiacciati, e per molti appassionati anche per una pattinata! Il sentiero compie un anello che tocca tutti e tre i laghi, tra i panorami delle circostanti cime orobiche e la baita di Cardeto, ricongiungendosi poi al sentiero principale per la discesa.
