WHY THIS TREK

The experience
Day 1. We set off with the Guidders from Valgoglio and spend most of the day's height gain in the initial pull, then the ground opens out and the tour of the first three lakes begins. We pitch camp and the evening is all there: supper together with stars overhead and the silence of the Orobie pre-Alps around us.
Day 2. We wake to first light on the water, have breakfast, and then lunch at the hut before heading down.
5 reasons to come - sleeping in a tent beside the Valgoglio lakes - supper together under the stars - the lake circuit on the first day - lunch at the hut before the descent - lakes and silence a short hop from Bergamo
Who it suits The initial climb is steep and concentrated: good fitness and a taste for sleeping out.
Effort, beauty and a sense of freedom: come and try them with the Guidders.

Loop of the First Three Lakes
"Embark on a high-altitude adventure through grassy meadows, rocky landscapes, and glacial basins. On day one, we'll discover: the tranquil Lago Sucotto, a small, silent lake ideal for our first break; the deep Lago Nero, encircled by dark scree slopes; and the largest, Lago d'Aviasco, boasting a spectacular dam and panoramic viewpoints perfect for pitching our tents."

Questions?
I've never done a multi-day trek, can I do it?
⌄
You need to be fit enough to walk a full day (8 h a day) and carry your backpack for 2 days. Flat or slightly inclined sections with short stretches on steep slopes and rocks, not tiring or demanding.
