Description

This route takes us to an uncontaminated corner of the Orobie: We will walk immersed in an alpine environment of rare integrity, surrounded by pastures, rocks and high-altitude woods, with spectacular views of the peaks of Valtellina and the Orobie. The highlight of the excursion is Lake Zancone, a body of water with green and turquoise reflections, nestled in a glacial basin, where the silence is interrupted only by the wind and the song of marmots. On clear days, the mountains are perfectly reflected on its surface, creating an almost surreal atmosphere. The descent, lively and fun, winds through scree, waterfalls and small streams that require a firm step and a bit of agility. We will conclude our adventure in the cool embrace of the Alpe, relaxing and refreshing our feet in the clear streams that flow through the meadows. Requires a bit of agility and the habit of walking on rough paths, rocks and fords.

Ciao!! Sono una Guida Ambientale Escursionistica e non vedo l'ora di camminare insieme per ammirare paesaggi e conoscere luoghi nuovi in allegra compagnia. Ci metto molta cura e tempo nel scegliere le proposte, perché seleziono solo quelle che mi fanno emozionare che siano panorami, natura, tradizioni (anche culinarie ovviamente!), persone o storia cosi chi parteciperà, al ritorno potrà portare con sé, nel suo zainetto, non solo delle belle foto e sorrisi, ma anche un qualcosa in piu di cui ricordarsi!
