The Marmitte dei Giganti are a series of cylindrical basins dug by the water in the bed of the Ogna stream. The water is crystal clear and turbulent as it flows over the rocks. Connected to each other by suggestive waterfalls, the potholes open one after the other in sequence, like clear swimming pools.
Near the potholes there is a beautiful picnic area.

Waterfalls and Stream Along the Ogna River, Parco delle Orobie Bergamasche

Highlight • Waterfall

Beautiful path that starts from the "bottom of the valley" (or rather from the Spinelli car park) and going up the valley between woods and meadows and spectacular views of the Presolana, the Ferrante, the Ferrantino, the Benfit and all the adjacent pastures and scree, reaches the Olmo refuge, from which it is then possible to reach the Agnelli pass.
The path does not present any technical difficulties but requires a fair amount of training (we are around 900m in altitude and 6 km one way)

Baite del Möschel

Highlight • Settlement

According to history, Möschel was the scene in 774 AD of a battle between the troops of the Lombard Prince Alano and part of those of Charlemagne, who had pursued him along the Valle di Scalve.
The huts (5) form a tiny village in the plain of the same name.
Half a century ago they were still stone huts dedicated to summer grazing. Now they have all been converted into rural high-altitude dwellings.
Il Möschel is the starting point for Passo dello Scagnello and Rif. Albani; and for the ascent to Ferrantino and Ferrante.
A little before, in the woods, there is a charming bivouac.

Selter Ruì (Cold Hole)

Highlight • Structure

One of the few ancient constructions, found in the Bergamo area, in which dairy products produced at high altitude were stored for aging and conservation.
The Selter del Ruì is, in its characteristic stone construction with a vaulted roof covered with earth, a close relative of the more famous Tuscan Burraie. Which, however, have the characteristic of running water in their internal tanks. Here, replaced by a cold flow of air that crosses the small construction.

Large lawn immersed in the Valzurio wood, equipped with 5-6 Picnik tables.
An excellent place to take a break in the shade during a summer walk, but also a destination for families with children for a picnic. Easy to reach starting from the Spinelli car park, it is located next to the path that leads to the Olmo refuge

Ascent on a dirt road, circular tour with return on a path that is 2/3 flooded due to the abundance of water, easy excursion that offers breathtaking views and the vision of an ancient ice house (ancient radiator), beautiful
