WHY THIS HIKE

The valleys of Sant'Antonio

A nature reserve almost nobody knows.

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

The experience

At the eastern edge of the Orobie, the Valli di Sant'Antonio nature reserve holds one of the most genuine corners of the Lombard mountains. We set off with the Guidders from the hamlet of Sant'Antonio, where the clear streams of the Val Brandet and the Val di Campovecchio meet, and climb between Forame and Cavalcafiche to the Picol tarn. Here the landscape tells an ancient story: rock polished by glaciers, moraine deposits, small lakes hidden in the woods.

5 reasons to come - the Valli di Sant'Antonio nature reserve - the Picol tarn, hidden up high - the clear streams of the Val Brandet - rock polished by glaciers and moraine deposits - a corner of Lombardy few people have walked

Who it suits A climb on mountain paths, steady but with nothing technical: normal walking fitness is enough.

Pure nature, in the proper sense: come with the Guidders.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Francesco, a UIMLA International Mountain Leader and a mid-mountain leader registered with the Collegio Guide Alpine Lombardia. I'm also a yoga teacher, and I love bringing mindful movement together with deep contact with nature: between trails and breath, the mountains are my element. For me the mountains are pure joy, to be lived in every aspect and shared with anyone who wants to explore, listen and be amazed. Every outing is a chance to find balance, wonder and — very often — new friendships. I hope to meet you soon. 🧘 🌲 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
