Wonderful place in the Bergamo Prealps, perfect for a regenerating walk. Malga Lunga (1,235 m) is managed by ANPI volunteers and is a symbolic place of the Resistance, with a small museum inside. The beautiful thing is that the refreshment service (active on weekends and in summer) works on a free donation basis to support the place: ideal for eating something typical and drinking a cool drink, leaving a spontaneous contribution. How to get there: On foot, the most convenient way starts from Gandino (parking at Valpiana, about 60 minutes of easy walking, also suitable for families). Alternatively, there are more hiking trails from Sovere or Ranzanico a little extra tip: Once at the mountain hut, walk a little further beyond the structure towards the ridge. Nearby there is the Giant Bench: the view from that point is crazy and you can see the entire Lake Endine from above!

I was pleasantly surprised by the loop, the views, and the year-round refuge (Placat). It seems suitable for cycling enthusiasts as well. I'll definitely be back.
