Hike in the Upper Seriana Valley.
From Valbondione, I took the Antonio Curò Nature Trail, which leads to the Curò refuge at 1,915 m near the Barbellino reservoir, about 7 km from the start and with an elevation gain of 1,000 m.
Along the trail, you can admire the highest mountain in the Orobie Alps, Pizzo Coca at 3,052 m. …

We start from Grumetti (€3 parking), cool temperatures, reach the Curo Pass (closed during the week, open Saturday and Sunday), a short stop, and then head to the Ludwigsburg Pass at Barbellino (like the Curò Pass). The day is beautiful, with warm sunshine and snow from 2,400 m. The view is fairytale-like. We stop for …

Today we didn't miss anything and even though it's not in our tastes, we had lunch at the Rif. Barbellino with Parüc pasta and cheeses and foiade with hare …

Famous route in the Bergamo area, which absolutely deserves. There is everything: views of the peaks, waterfalls, artificial and natural lakes, two refuges, meadows for sunbathing and picnics. Simply exciting. The difference in altitude is well diluted along the several km, but once at the Curó Refuge it becomes a walk. Obviously such beauty attracts tourism in the summer, so …
