WHY THIS HIKE

Winter Presolana Trek

Presolana under the snow is waiting for you, its North face taking your breath away even in winter. White woods, pure silence, shifting light with every step: the Orobie Alps in their most magical form.

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

The experience

We start from the Carbonera cable car square. The climb doesn't go easy on us: first a steep paved road, then the snowy forest welcomes us. We cross the Rino stream on a wooden bridge and continue on a narrow trail. Once we leave the forest behind, the view opens up: Presolana's imposing shape and the Rifugio Albani at 1939 meters. A hot tea and excellent Bergamo-style cuisine await (check winter opening hours).

Why join us - Views that open up suddenly, between snow and silence - A real trail, with climbs you feel and rewards you see - Arriving at the hut, hot tea and local cuisine waiting for you - The queen of the Orobie Alps, all to yourself, up close

Pack your bag: the Guidders are waiting for you on this winter day in the Orobie Alps.
