The Orobie Path is a hiking trail located among the Lombard Alps, in the province of Bergamo. The complete itinerary, which serves as a connecting route between the various huts and bivouacs, was created by the Italian Alpine Club (Bergamo section) between 1950 and 1975.
A very challenging route, especially in the winter months, that will give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the heart of the Alps and discover the wildest areas of the Italian mountain range.
The path runs at medium altitudes, around 1500/2000 meters, and extends from one end to the other of the Bergamo province.
Along the way, you can admire the typical flora and fauna of these areas, including: marmots, chamois, eagles, and ibex.
The Orobie Path is divided into: “Eastern,” characterized by eight daily stages and extending from Valcanale to the Presolana Pass, and “Western,” characterized by six daily stages and extending from Cassiglio to the F.lli Longo Refuge in Valle Brembana.
In the absence of snow, the “eastern” route does not present major difficulties, while the “western” is recommended only for experienced hikers due to some much more demanding stages characterized by via ferratas.
