WHY THIS HIKE

Pizzo Poris, sentinel of the Orobie

A rocky sentinel above the upper Val Brembana.

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

The experience

Pizzo Poris is one of the most imposing and wildest summits in the Bergamo Orobie: it commands the upper Val Brembana with a majestic presence and a climb reserved for the fit. We set off with the Guidders from Carona and climb through alpine pastures and high country to the panoramic Rifugio Calvi, a historic landmark. From there the ground changes and the climb turns serious, all the way to the top.

5 reasons to come - the summit of Pizzo Poris, imposing and wild - Rifugio Calvi along the climb - the alpine pastures of the upper Val Brembana - high country that changes step by step - a summit reserved for those who earn it

Who it suits A demanding high-altitude climb: good fitness and a sure step on rocky ground.

For those after real summits: come with the Guidders.
