WHY THIS HIKE

A rock labyrinth and a sunset over two valleys

A panoramic, surprising trek a stone's throw from Bergamo, with the soul of a real mountain. From Aviatico we climb through woods and rock spires to the Cornagera: a natural labyrinth of towers, cracks and passages that look straight out of an adventure story.

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

The experience

The most enjoyable moment is the Büs de la Carolina, the striking canyon winding between the rock pillars: narrow, photogenic and suitable for everyone. Those who wish can also climb to the top of the Cornagera, fifteen minutes from the canyon.

From there we reach the summit of Monte Poieto, at 1,370 metres, where the view opens over Val Seriana and Val Brembana. At the hut we stop for a snack as the sun goes down, then close the loop along the trail beside the ski slopes. Six kilometres, 400 metres of ascent, three hours in total.

This is an easy hike: 400 metres of ascent over six kilometres, suitable for beginners and for those walking with children. We come back in the dusk: best to have a head torch in your pack, along with walking shoes and water.

Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's climb the Poieto.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Isabella, an environmental hiking guide: born and raised in Bergamo, with the Orobie in my heart. From childhood I went into the mountains with my father for his work, and that bond has never broken since. I've travelled a lot and crossed very different places, but nothing surprises me like the Bergamo Orobie: every time I look at them with new eyes, trying not just to read the landscape but to understand it properly. There's a storyteller in me: I love weaving legend and fact together and taking whoever walks with me on a journey that isn't only physical, but narrative and emotional too. Because every trail has a story to tell, and I'm glad to share it. If you walk with me, let the mountains speak to you: through my words. 🏔 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
