Lake Endine, nestled in the Val Cavallina at about 337 m above sea level, offers intact natural scenery rich in reeds. For a spectacular view, you can walk the hiking loop to the Giant Bench of Ranzanico or climb Monte Sparavera, considered the true panoramic balcony over the lake.

after the first hairpin bends, although few, some spots to admire the Lake of Endine

In the center of the village of Bianzano stands an ancient castle whose history is still partly shrouded in mystery: a square-plan building whose corners are aligned with the four cardinal points. Two defensive walls, of which remains are found today, surround the structure in the center of which stands an imposing keep. What saved this castle from destruction during the period of the Republic of Venice was the intuition of the Suardi family, who decided to remove the battlements from the walls to make it resemble a dwelling as much as possible and not a fortress. Their coat of arms is still found today on the entrance portal to the castle.

Convenient starting point for reaching various places including Monte Sparavera. The parking lot can accommodate about thirty cars, and along the road about 7/8 more. Remember to get the scratch-off parking permit, available for purchase in the municipalities of Peia or Ranzanico (it is not the same one needed for M.Farno).

It is not necessary to go all the way to the top of Sparavera. Already from this position the view of the lake is fantastic. The flowering meadows and the dense tree canopies scattered here and there invite you to stop and perhaps even have a snack and a nap! Please always behave decently and take your rubbish with you!

from here the path to Gandino is first quite flowy then becomes more technical with some engraved sections

This route offers panoramic views of both Lake Endine and Lake Iseo, and is of medium difficulty for a reasonably fit cyclist. The climbs are not particularly difficult, and except for the Valle Rossa, they are also quite short.
