Tips from the Community
Lago Lavena is a small alpine body of water located in Alta Val Brembana, in the territory of Carona, nestled among the giants of the Orobie Alps. Situated at an altitude of about 1970 meters, it lies along the popular route leading from Rifugio Calvi towards Passo di Valsecca. Its clear waters reflect the surrounding rocky walls, among which stands out the imposing silhouette of Pizzo del Diavolo di Tenda. Despite its small size compared to the nearby artificial basins, the lake retains a wild and unspoiled charm, representing an ideal stop for hikers seeking silence and high-altitude panoramas in one of the most evocative corners of the province of Bergamo.

Well-deserved view after the ascent from Bagolino. From here the route continues on gravel roads to the NATO radar station Dosso dei Galli, which was abandoned after the Cold War. Once there, the round trip to Bagolino can be concluded with a spectacular descent

The tunnel is currently in the wrong place, but overall it's a nice bike path. Hope Komoot improves soon.🙏🚲

A famous pass in the Brescian Pre-Alps, the Crocedomini has a very long history (it is said that Emperor Frederick Barbarossa passed through here in the 12th century) and is almost 1,900 meters above sea level. It represents a real challenge for those who decide to tackle it by bicycle: from Bagolino it is a 22 kilometer climb at an average 5%, while the Breno side is even harder, around 20 kilometers at an average 7.5%. You can also get to Crocedomini in a third way, that is, through the splendid partly dirt road (very simple gravel) that comes from the south, from the Maniva pass.
