WHY THIS HIKE

Mount Sodadura from Cassiglio

A sharp summit, recognisable from far away.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Lago di Cassiglio and climb hard to the Passo Baciamorti, where most of the height gain is concentrated. Then the route carries on to the Bocchetta di Regadur and finally along the crest to the summit of Monte Sodadura: slender, elegant, one of the signature peaks between the Valle Imagna and the Val Taleggio. From the top we drop to Rifugio Cazzaniga-Merlini and return by way of the pass.

5 reasons to come - the sharp summit of Monte Sodadura - the final crest, airy and panoramic - the Passo Baciamorti, a historic crossing between valleys - Rifugio Cazzaniga-Merlini after the summit - deep valleys opening at every glance

Who it suits A firm climb with a final crest: good fitness and a sure step are needed.

A mountain you have to earn: come and take it with the Guidders.

We'll leave the cars at the parking area near the lake in Cassiglio (Bergamo province) and set off on the trail.
10:30PASS
Baciamorti Pass
The first part of our hike is the most challenging, as almost all of the elevation gain is concentrated on the ascent to Baciamorti Pass. From here, after a short, well-deserved break, we'll continue towards the summit.

Once we reach the summit of Mount Sodaura, we'll take a quick breather and then descend to 1889 meters to reach the mountain hut where we'll enjoy lunch.
13:30MOUNTAIN HUT
Cazzaniga-Merlini Mountain Hut
Finally at the mountain hut! We'll tuck into a well-deserved lunch before heading back down.
15:30VIEWPOINT
Returning via the Baciamorti Passor
We'll retrace our steps back along the trail to the mountain pass, bypassing the ascent to the summit.
18:00RETURN
