WHY THIS HIKE
A hushed valley at 1,200 metres above the Sebino
Val Palot is one of the most surprising places above Lake Iseo: a valley at 1,200 metres that in winter becomes a hushed world, wrapped in firs, beeches and a quiet that restores you. It is where you come to switch off, not to rack up kilometres.

Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
Our route follows sections of the well-known Ciaspalot trail, walking at moderate gradients and crossing viewpoints that open suddenly over the Sebino and the Orobie. The first balcony is Passabocche, where the final climb begins.
The goal is Rifugio Medelet, one of those huts that everyone who has been recommends. It is 15 kilometres and 600 metres of ascent, returning through beech woods and landscapes of real charm.
This is an easy hike: 600 metres of ascent over fifteen kilometres, at moderate gradients on comfortable trails. Suitable for beginners and for those walking with teenagers. Bring boots, water and a jacket: the valley stays cool.
Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's walk Val Palot.

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 — this outing
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.
Intermediate
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.
