Excursion to M. Canto Alto dalla fraz. M. by Nese

Monte Canto Alto

Canto Alto can be rightly defined as the “mountain of Bergamo” par excellence: clearly visible from the city, with its unmistakable silhouette, it can also be reached by having only half a day off. Passable almost all year round, except in the case of heavy snowfalls, the trip is characterized by the vast and suggestive panorama visible from the summit, on which stands a giant iron cross, built in 1979 and visible tens of kilometers away. While easy, the hike requires a minimum of experience and attention in the last steep stretch on the ridge.

From the town of Alzano Lombardo, at the entrance of the Val Seriana, you can reach the hamlet Monte di Nese, at 800 meters above sea level, in a beautiful panoramic position (about 20 kilometers from Bergamo). From the new parish church we continue briefly along the paved road, and then take on the left a mule track, which soon leads to a marked pass, called the Forcella.

Then turn left, starting to cross with a few ups and downs the steep northern slopes of Monte Cavallo, immersed in a thick forest.
You then reach a wide and rounded meadow hill — the Canto Basso — from which you continue in a west direction along the comfortable ridge, which later turns into a ridge, sometimes steep and bumpy. With a little effort and attention, we finally take you to the wide summit of Canto Alto, with its colossal cross: 1146 meters altitude, 1.30 hours from the start. The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes about 1.15 hours. In
the dark centuries of the Middle Ages, in the midst of the bloody disputes between Guelphs and Ghibellines, exactly on the top of the mountain, by virtue of its exceptional strategic position, a real and own fortress, repeatedly documented. Probably had to be a fortified structure of considerable size, as demonstrated by some excavations carried out in 1978, which brought to light among other things a cistern for the rainwater collection, an indication of the presence of an unlimited group of soldiers.

It should also be noted that we are in the heart of the Parco dei Colli, an important protected area that in recent decades has had the great merit of preserving almost intact the vast and suggestive a succession of hills that surround the city of Bergamo to the north.

Excursion to Monte Linzone from Roncola S. Bernardo

Mount Linzone

Excursion as easy as profitable, especially from a panoramic aspect. The coastal of Monte Linzone is in fact the first significant elevation of the Orobic prealps, with its sweet and verdant summit dome overlooking the underlying Bergamo plain, a thousand meters lower. The trip is feasible almost all year round, except in the case of heavy snowfalls, however rare now.

From the town of Roncola San Bernardo, one of the most famous tourist resorts in the province (20 kilometers from Bergamo, altitude 858 meters), you start to follow the steep paved road that leads to the cemetery. Continue straight, until beyond the end of the road, entering a comfortable signposted path. Having come out of the woods, and passed a wavy lawn with a large cabin, the most strenuous stretch of the trip begins: a wide but steep rocky and gravel channel, which requires a minimum of caution. At its end, you reach the spectacular ridge of the mountain, where the view opens onto the Imagna Valley below and the entire Orobie chain in the background.

Now bending to the left, continue along the easy and undulating summit ridge, until you reach the wide grassy dome of the summit, on which is placed a large iron cross: Monte Linzone, altitude 1392 meters, 1.30 hours from the start. The return takes place along the route followed uphill, and takes about an hour.

The panorama is of those who are not easily forgotten, and it is rightly famous: the Val San Martino, which sinks for a thousand meters below us, the entire Po Valley, closed by the nuanced chain of the Apennines; on the opposite side the Imagna Valley lying at our feet, with the Orobie chain in the background, in a succession as far as the eye can see valleys and peaks.
By completing the excursion in the months of May and June, it will also be possible to admire in all its beauty the flowering of daffodils: a bloom so extraordinary to the point that, until the 1960s, on these meadows took place the traditional as indispensable “narcisata”, a sort of race for those who collected the biggest and most beautiful decks. According to chronicles of the time, on May 1, 1960, something like twenty thousand people counted on the meadows of Roncola San Bernardo! If we think that, at the time, the access road was not yet paved — it would have been only three years later, in 1963 — we can understand how popular this real “party of spring.”

Excursion to the Antonio Curò Hut from Valbondione

The Antonio Curò Hut is one of the most popular and popular hiking destinations in the entire province of Bergamo: easy without being trivial, tiring but not prohibitive, it allows everyone to approach the magical world of high mountains.

The refuge is in fact located at the entrance of the Conca del Barbellino, rich in lakes, rocky mountains, small but interesting glaciers, precious fauna and flora, peaks that touch the three thousand meters... In a word, a true paradise for the hiker, without any regrets for others and far more celebrated mountains.

The trip takes place largely on a comfortable mule track, in the upper part carved in the lively rock. From the town of Valbondione, in the upper Valle Seriana (888 meters altitude, 52 kilometers from Bergamo) you start to follow the path that goes, with a regular climb, in the thick of the woods, approaching the head of the valley, on the left-hand river side.

At the exit of the forest, always on the unmistakable track, you cross some canals (possible avalanche remains at the beginning of the season), reaching the base of the rocky jump that closes the valley, at a crossroads. Bending to the right, continue along the mule track with some long and regular hairpin bends (the so-called 'panoramic') until the final flat stretch, engraved in the rock. On the other hand, continuing straight to the fork, we face the strenuous “shortcut” which, with countless turns and a little attention, directly overcomes the rocky jump.

In both cases, we finally reach the large building of the Antonio Curò Hut: an altitude of 1915 meters, 2.30 hours following the “shortcut”, about 3 hours with the “overview”.
The return takes place along the same path as the climb and takes 1.30 hours (2 with the “overview”).
VARIANT: from Valbondione it is possible to drive to the Grumetti hamlet (where the ENEL cable car starts, limited parking possibilities, altitude 970 meters). A steep path in the woods allows you to reach the mule track of the main itinerary, saving 20 - 30 minutes.
