WHY THIS TREK

From the Napoleù bivouac to the Bratto baths

A private hut, a shared dinner and thermal baths the next day.

Group chat before departure
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

Day 1. We set off with the Guidders from Vilminore di Scalve along a panoramic path through woods and pastures, by way of the Gleno dam, up to the Baita Napoleù: a welcoming private hut surrounded by green, where the evening is made of a shared dinner, conversation and stars.

Day 2. After the descent, relaxation: we move on to the thermal baths to round off the weekend properly.

5 reasons to come - dinner and a night at the Baita Napoleù - the Gleno dam along the route - Orobie views from the panoramic path - the thermal baths on day two - two days joining walking with real rest

Who it suits A climb on a panoramic path with nothing technical: normal walking fitness is enough.

Genuinely switching off: set off with the Guidders.

✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
