WHY THIS HIKE

Pizzo Dosdè: an intense, spectacular adventure in Upper Valtellina

A stern summit above the upper Valtellina.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Arnoga and climb an alpine path towards Rifugio Federico in Dosdè, then the ground changes: faint lines across scree and steep slopes lead to the summit of Pizzo Dosdè. It is a severe setting, the kind that gives nothing away, and that is exactly why the top feels earned: from up there the view runs wide across the valley, the ridges and the alpine lakes below.

5 reasons to come - a high summit, earned metre by metre - the open view over the whole upper Valtellina - Rifugio Federico in Dosdè on the way up - a varied alpine path that never gets dull - the stern character of the Dosdè, unfiltered

Who it suits For trained walkers: a big climb, real altitude, loose ground and hard sections where a sure step and stamina make the difference.

Mountains without filters, just as we like them: come with the Guidders.
