WHY THIS HIKE

Corno Stella from Foppolo

From Foppolo, in the province of Bergamo, we head up with the Guidders toward Corno Stella, an iconic peak in the upper Brembana Valley. The hike begins on a mountain trail through alpine pastures and rocky scree, then becomes steeper as it continues through open high-mountain terrain, with sweeping views over the Orobie Alps, wild valleys, and border ridgelines. This trek is for those who truly love the high mountains: sure-footedness, good fitness, and care on uneven ground, steep sections, and the exposed summit are essential. Why choose this hike - an iconic Orobie peak - wide-open views across the valley - a true alpine trail - a shared group experience with the Guidders - a challenging ascent that’s incredibly rewarding This hike is unique because it combines a start from Foppolo, a gradual build-up, and a final high-mountain section that is pure, rocky, and direct. Indicative information only.

950 m D+ · 13 km · 6 h

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.

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.

Intermediate Plus

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.

Exposure and exposed sections

NONE

The trail is never exposed. A few rocky stretches, no airy sections.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, a mid-mountain leader registered with the Collegio Guide Alpine Lombardia since 2020 and an International Mountain Leader (UIMLA) since 2025. The mountains are three things at once for me: freedom, discovery and sharing. Every trail is a chance to feel something real and to build bonds that outlast the day — which is exactly why I lead groups instead of walking alone. With the Guidders I'll take you on hikes and trips that taste of nature, endless views and shared smiles. The best adventures always start together: come and walk with us. ✨ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
