WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Cancervo and Monte Venturosa

Two summits in one loop, between Val Brembana and Val Taleggio.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the hamlet of Pianca, above San Giovanni Bianco, and climb through the woods to the Passo di Grialeggio. From there we take first the summit of Monte Cancervo and then that of Monte Venturosa, walking through small hollows, pastures and panoramic crests open onto the Bergamo Orobie and the Val Taleggio. It is a complete, varied loop, the kind where the effort makes you say at the end that it was worth every step.

5 reasons to come - two summits in the same loop - the view between Val Brembana and Val Taleggio - the Passo di Grialeggio, where the day changes face - the beech woods of the lower Val Brembana - panoramic crests for much of the route

Who it suits A long, varied outing with steep sections: good fitness and a sure step on the more exposed stretches.

Two summits in a single day: come and take them with the Guidders.
