WHY THIS HIKE

Mount Ortighera in Val Brembana

A no-frills climb, in the heart of the Val Brembana.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Moio de' Calvi and climb towards Monte Ortighera on a path through woods, clearings and old hamlets such as Cantone Santa Maria. The line is continuous and physical: you start low, among the trees, and gain height to Passo Ortighera and the ridge, where the view opens wide across the Bergamo peaks. There are no postcard attractions here: the value is in the rhythm, the steady climb and the true character of these mountains.

5 reasons to come - the open view from Monte Ortighera - old rural hamlets such as Cantone Santa Maria - a path that runs from woodland to ridgeline - a solid climb, the kind that builds fitness - the Val Brembana away from the busiest routes

Who it suits A continuous climb with several steep sections on natural ground, slippery when wet: you need good fitness and a sure step.

If you like honest climbs, this one is for you: come with the Guidders.
