WHY THIS HIKE

Val Biandino: Rifugio Tavecchia

From the Valsassina up to high pasture, on a climb that gives nothing away.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Margno and climb to the Pian delle Betulle and then Rifugio Tavecchia, through woods and high pastures. The path climbs in earnest for long stretches and keeps changing: mule track, faint line through the trees, steep ground. Higher up it opens out and the view takes on another rhythm, with the Valsassina mountains all around. It is one of those climbs where every metre is earned, and you feel it.

5 reasons to come - the open view across the Valsassina - the Pian delle Betulle along the route - Rifugio Tavecchia, a solid objective - a path that keeps changing character - a climb that trains you and satisfies

Who it suits You need good stamina and a sure step: there are steep sections and the ground turns slippery when wet.

A proper climb above Margno: come and do it with the Guidders.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Beniamino, Ben to everyone, a mid-mountain leader and cycle touring guide. Becoming a guide was the finish line of a path that started over ten years ago in the outdoor world: a big passion that turned into my profession. Over the years I've built experience across specialist shops, events and collaborations with major brands in the sector, and I learned how much preparation, safety and attention to people matter. I love the mountains in every form, but it's among ridges, walls and big views that I really feel at home. Every outing is a chance to experience nature authentically, share emotions and build memories that last. If you fancy exploring new trails with the Guidders, we're off. 🥾🚵 See you in the mountains, Guidders!

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Francesca, a Guiddy coordinator, and I can't wait to walk with you. Step by step we'll enjoy spectacular views, with one simple goal: reaching the top with a smile. That isn't a throwaway line — if you get there tired and happy, the day went exactly as it should. We'll share unforgettable outings, between trails, nature and a real appetite for being outdoors, living everything good the mountains have to give. Especially among the splendid peaks above Bergamo, which I carry with me. As a coordinator, my job is to make sure the only thing you have to think about is walking. ⛰️ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
