By train to Edolo and then by bike up to Ponte di legno. The next day, departure in four stages to Mantua. Beautiful cycle path. Recommended

🏔️ Monte Altissimo — Identity and location Monte Altissimo is the highest peak of the short mountain range that separates Bassa Val Camonica and Valle di Scalve. It is known for two very different slopes: North slope (Borno): gentle, wooded, with ski slopes and mountain huts. South slope (Erbanno–Gorzone): steep, rocky, with significant elevation changes. This dual nature is also confirmed by the hiking itineraries documented online . 🚶♂️ The main documented itineraries Online sources show several routes, including: 1) From Croce di Salven – Path 6 (classic loop) Passes through Pozze di Val Sorda, Rifugio Lorenzini, Malga Guccione. A very popular loop itinerary, with a gentle and scenic ascent. Data confirmed by hikr.org (loop with ascent from Croce di Salven) . 2) From Borno – Via Mine e Segable A longer and scenic itinerary, with passages over woods, mountain huts, and ridges. Documented in detail on Wikiloc, with a complete description of path 112 → 151 → 155 . 3) From Erbanno – Path 155 Steep and challenging ascent, with sections on rocky outcrops. Direct connection to the final ridge of the Altissimo. 🏞️ Environment and notable points Sources confirm the places you have already visited: Pozze di Val Sorda: damp and bright clearings. Rifugio Colonnello Ferruccio Lorenzini: in the Pratolungo basin, at 1478 m. Malga Guccione: a passing point before the final ascent. Borno ski slopes: often used for descent on winter loops.

The Malga di Val Sorda is not a "classic" alpine pasture hut with grazing activities, but a hiking landmark located in the large meadow of Val Sorda, along the paths that lead from Croce di Salven towards Pratolungo, Malga Guccione, and finally Monte Altissimo. Online information describes it as part of the valley's pasture and pool system, crossed by CAI trails 186 and 187. 📍 Location The hut is located in the central pasture of Val Sorda, reached after about 1h10 of walking from Croce di Salven along trail 186. It is a junction point between: trail 186 (towards Pratolungo and Altissimo) trail 187 (steeper, climbs towards the Val Sorda refuge/structure)

I've done it twice in the same lap, first from Desso, then after climbing Monte Pora. They're completely different. From Desso, it's long and always in double digits, with significant peaks, so take it with a pinch of salt; the other is rideable. Seeing is believing. 🚴♀️

Stone bridge with nice views around. The river was brown due to heavy rain some hours earlier.

To reach Montecchio di Darfo, starting from Boario, you cross the so-called "Roman bridge." It is a scenic 24-meter, single-span bridge, built from blocks of granite and Simona stone in 1686, over the remains of an older bridge that connected the medieval castle on Monticolo to the opposite bank of the river. It has been recognized as a national monument.

I have an unpleasant memory at the spa, a colleague had run out of water and was denied access (even from the tap) because they said they were closed and he couldn't use the cash register... then it was resolved at the Magnolini.
