WHY THIS TREK

The Orobie Anello Trail in seven days

Seven days on the Sentiero delle Orobie.

Group chat before departure
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

With the Guidders we cross the eastern Orobie from hut to hut, along one of the finest long treks in the Bergamo Alps. We start at Valcanale and climb to the Laghi Gemelli hut, then carry on to the Calvi, the Brunone, the Coca and the Curò: historic huts, alpine passes and valleys that change face every day. We walk among alpine lakes, panoramic crests, woods and scree, in stern country where the mountains show themselves as they are.

5 reasons to come - the Sentiero delle Orobie in its full traverse - five historic huts, one for each evening - the alpine lakes of every valley - passes and panoramic crests every single day - seven days away from the noise, deep in the mountains

Who it suits A hut-to-hut trek for trained walkers: seven consecutive days, with serious height gain and alpine ground.

A real adventure, a week long: set off with the Guidders.
