The Orobie Alps
 

The Orobie Alps, the ring of mountains that, almost 60km long, divide Bergamo’s valleys to Valtellina, surely deserve the name “Alps”. These mountains, indeed, are wild and lonely, their peaks are higher than 3000 metres (Pizzo di Coca 3052m) and many lakes. Besides their landscape, the main attraction is here their fauna. In the sky, indeed, the royal eagle circles, while on the rocks you can meet up with chamoises and ibexes.

Inside the area there are many paths, among which the most famous are to be pointed out, such as Priula Road, the military ways and the naturalistic ones. You can start from Carona, in Upper Val Brembana, and follow a wide ring, meeting with several lakes, some natural and other artificial.

How to get here: from Bergamo along the highway towards the valleys.
