Branchino Lake and Valcanale: In the Heart of the Orobie Alps
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate
Description
In the heart of the Orobie Alps lies a hidden gem: Lake Branchino, a small lake with a surface area of one hectare, nestled among some of the most majestic peaks of the Orobie, overlooked by Pizzo Arera. There are several ways to reach it, and we will start from the magical Valcanale. The path alternates between sections of mule track in the woods and more open trails with breathtaking views, always with gentle slopes, until we reach the Branchino Pass, where we will enjoy the panorama of both Val Seriana and Val Brembana. To top off the day, there will also be a nice lunch in a refuge before retracing our steps down.

A biologist by training, an explorer by passion! Hi! I'm Lamartucci (yes, that's really what they call me!), a biologist and naturalist completely in love with nature in all its forms. I love sharing it, talking about it, and bringing it to life for those who hike with me, one step at a time. My favorite hikes? Those with breathtaking views and plenty of distance, where we rack up the miles surrounded by smiles, stunning landscapes, and that contagious joy that only a day in nature can bring. Hiking with me means: enjoying the day, eating well, laughing a lot, and returning home with your batteries recharged with endorphins! And along the way… expect to learn lots of nature nuggets about the flora, fauna, and the landscapes around us. Backpack ready? I am! 🌞🌲
