WHY THIS HIKE

The Presolana loop

A loop trek beneath the Presolana, the “Queen of the Orobie Alps”, is one of those experiences that every Guidder should have at least once. We are in the province of Bergamo, in the heart of the Orobie Alps, where the trails wind through forests, pastures and spectacular rock faces.

The experience

This itinerary connects Baita Cornetto and the Rifugio Medici ai Cassinelli, two iconic points in the area, through a varied, panoramic and always rewarding route. A perfect excursion for those looking for a complete trek: not too technical, but full of incredible views of the Presolana.

Here you always walk with the Presolana before your eyes: imposing, close, almost within reach. The route alternates between sections in the woods and more open sections, offering a dynamic and super rewarding experience.

The Guidders choose it when they want a complete day: nature, panoramas and sharing. Join the group and experience this loop under the Presolana together with those who truly love the mon

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Federica, a mid-mountain leader: born in Milan, but with my heart in the Bergamo Prealps. That's where the Presolana grew my passion for the mountains, and I've never really moved away since. After a few years as a copywriter I decided to change direction and follow what made me feel at home: the trails. In 2020 I qualified as a guide and chose to live closer to nature. I love taking people out to discover views, silences and mountain wonders, sharing every step with the Guidders. 🥾⛰️ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
