August 13, 2023,Giro dei 5 laghi da Valgoglio

Small stretches with metal safety chains, just to avoid slipping but if there are people who suffer from vertigo a little attention will be needed. The parking lot where you leave your car costs 5 euros during the summer. The ring can be covered both in the direction of the black lake first or leaving the black lake last. The …

They call it the tour of the 5 lakes but I counted 7.
Parking in Bortolotti in Valgoglio (few free spaces on the side of the road, otherwise large paid parking lot 5 euros).
I did the tour clockwise as I was advised and in my opinion the right choice.
The upper Campelli lake is too beautiful not to take …

November 7, 2024,I 5 Laghi di Valgoglio.

Since 2024 is a year in which, for health reasons and not only, I have done much less hiking than I would have liked, I am always torn in choosing my destination. On the one hand I want to return to the great classics, that is, those destinations that each of us does at least once a year, while on …

August 6, 2023,Giro dei laghi di Valgoglio dalla centrale, passando per il lago di Aviasco

Wonderful tour in terms of landscape that touches a large number of lakes, mostly artificial or in any case expanded by dam systems. The loop is quite demanding in terms of length and height difference, almost all concentrated in the first part of the route, but without technical difficulties.
In the sense proposed, between Lake Cernello and Lake Campelli Basso …

After many years, today I had the opportunity to redo a classic excursion in the Orobie Alps, one of those considered to be the most beautiful in terms of landscape: the tour of the five lakes of Valgoglio.
The tour, starting from the town of Valgoglio (Bortolotti parking lot) is partly a ring, passable indiscriminately in both directions and includes …
