WHY THIS HIKE

Summiting Monte Madonnino

The evocative peak of Monte Madonnino dominates the 5 lakes area of Valgoglio, straddling the Seriana and Brembana valleys. An ascent that offers exceptional natural panoramas, in one of the areas richest in water in our mountains. On the summit, a white statuette of the Madonna, from which the mountain takes its name, overlooks breathtaking views and is just waiting for us! We start from Bortolotti, where a steep path in the woods leads to the first lakes of Valgoglio. Skirting them to the right, we come across the Cernello hut and take the easy ridge to our summit, which with a little sweat will allow us to reach 2502 meters, the highest point of the excursion, with the satisfaction of bringing home a wonderful Orobie peak!
