WHY THIS HIKE

Rifugio Olmo in the heart of the Presolana

Walking at the foot of an icon.

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the Passo della Presolana along one of the finest lines in the area, combining woods, panoramic traverses and wilder stretches between scree and rock walls. From the first steps you are in the heart of the mountain, with a progressive climb leading to the Baita Cassinelli and then to Rifugio Olmo. Above us, throughout, the Presolana: the queen of the Bergamo Orobie.

5 reasons to come - Rifugio Olmo, in the heart of the Presolana - the Baita Cassinelli along the route - panoramic traverses beneath the walls - the scree and wild country of the upper section - the queen of the Orobie overhead all day

Who it suits A progressive climb with scree sections: normal walking fitness and a sure step.

A powerful landscape, seen up close: come with the Guidders.

Easy

Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.

Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.

Easy Plus

A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.

Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.

Intermediate

Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!

Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.

When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers

Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths

Difficult

Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.

Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.

Difficult Plus

Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.

Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.

Donatella P.

We'll email you when they have a new outing on the calendar.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Donatella, and the mountains have fascinated me for as long as I can remember, since I was a child discovering the trails around Lake Endine. I live them all round, in every season, and since 1997 I've turned that passion into my profession as a mid-mountain leader. Since 2024 I'm an e-bike guide too: a different, rather special way of having real experiences across gravel tracks, trails and wonders you get to see with new eyes. For me, getting to know nature is the first step towards respecting it. Every walk comes with some effort, but also with incredible views, colours, emotions and moments that stay with you — and those are what bring you back. 🥾🚵‍♀️ See you in the mountains, Guidders!

Se mi chiedessero: che percorso ti piacerebbe rifare con Guiddy? Io risponderei senza pensarci due volte un giro sulla presolana fino a rifugio Olmo ❤️ un percorso bellissimo fatto di tanti incontri meravigliosi, cavalli, camosci, rapaci… davvero una esperienza che rifarei mille volte!
