Rifugio Longo and Lago del Diavolo Trek: Val Sasso Hike from Carona, Orobie Alps

A lake so dark it feels like it's watching you, wrapped in legend. If you're after the wildest side of the Orobie Alps, the one still off the radar, this is it.

The hike starts in Carona and climbs through Val Sasso, one of the least-traveled valleys in Val Brembana: wide views, real silence, untouched nature. The destination is Rifugio Longo, dedicated to brothers Giuseppe and Innocente Longo, who died on the Matterhorn in 1934. From there, just a few minutes bring you to Lago del Diavolo, the Devil's Lake: dark waters, peaks reflected on its surface, shepherd legends passed down for generations. The route covers 16 km and 900 m of elevation gain, out and back on the same trail, roughly six hours of walking total.
