WHY THIS HIKE

Aperitivo at Balota del Coren

Who says aperitifs (or apericena) can only be enjoyed at a bar? With this very simple but evocative itinerary, we want to propose an alternative version of the usual spritz sipped at a table. All it takes is a little organization and the desire to "take a stroll". We start from the end of Via San Rocco in Provaglio d'Iseo, shortly after the Castle and Church of San Rocco (for orientation, it's near the Osteria Del Pian Delle Viti). The comfortable little road quickly leads to the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Corno, and then continues into the woods to our destination, from which we can admire the Torbiere del Sebino and the entire southern area of Lake Iseo. There is no bar or refuge here, so it is necessary to bring on your back what you want to consume and share with others. The departure time is indicative, as it needs to be assessed according to the sunset. You need to bring a torch: to fully enjoy the view we will descend at twilight.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Elisa, an environmental hiking guide: one family, three hearts and a lot of appetite for walking. I (re)discovered my passion for the mountains in 2018 and we haven't stopped since: every week I set off on an adventure with my husband and our inseparable four-legged companion. We love everything about nature: from simple strolls through the woods to multi-day treks with a tent on our backs and a starry sky overhead. The urge to find new trails, breathe good air and share the feeling never runs out. If you dream of genuine outings too, to be lived with the people you love and at the right pace, we'll be waiting on the trail with a smile (and some tail-wagging). 🐶 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
