WHY THIS HIKE

Valli di Sant'Antonio in autumn

Twin valleys parting in front of a hamlet of wooden huts, clear streams and larches lighting up among the firs in October: the Valli di Sant'Antonio nature reserve is one of the most enchanting corners of Lombardy.

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the hamlet of Sant'Antonio, above Corteno Golgi, and climb into Val Campovecchio over the covered wooden bridge. A woodland path then takes us into Val Brandet, the wilder sister, which we follow upstream to Malga Casazza for lunch. We return to Sant'Antonio down the other side, among larches and little waterfalls.

Corteno carries the name of Camillo Golgi, the doctor born here who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1906.

Anyone who walks with some regularity: the climbs are gentle and the paths wide.

Come and discover the Valli di Sant'Antonio with the Guidders: an autumn of water, wood and golden larches.

Sant'Antonio di Corteno Golgi is about two and a half hours from Milan: the SS36 and Valtellina to Tresenda, then the Aprica pass and the turn-off for Sant'Antonio; or the A4 and Val Camonica to Edolo. Car pooling in the outing's Telegram group.

BEFORE YOU GO
Go to bed early, have a good breakfast and drink before you set off: you've got 4 h and 450 m of ascent ahead, if you go to the mountains a couple of times a month, you're fit enough
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
Warm layers, a windproof jacket, 1.5 litres of water and a headlamp: the days are getting shorter, plus poles. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish
