Hike to the Tita Secchi Hut

The importance of this itinerary is twofold: on the one hand it is a pleasant excursion within everyone's reach, which reaches a picturesque corner of the Valle del Caffaro, a short distance from the well-known and frequented Passo di Croce Domini; on the other, it represents the important starting point (or arrival) of the trekking “Alta Via dell'Adamello”.
To avoid excessive repetition, in the description we considered to group the three possibilities of access to the Tita Secchi Hut, a few meters away from the characteristic Lake of the Vacca. The shelter has in fact replaced the old Gabriele Rosa Hut, now used as a winter room.
All the possible itineraries listed below are very popular, well marked, untiring and almost unmistakable.
Itinerary 1: from the Gaver. Once you reach the Gaver esplanade near the Nikolajewka Hut, in the upper Valle del Caffaro (altitude 1505 meters), we walk past the alpine church, and then touch Malga Laione di Sotto (1602 meters). Continuing on the always unmistakable track, you will finally reach the Tita Secchi Hut, at 2367 meters above sea level (2.15 hours from the start). The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes 1.30 hours.
Itinerary 2: from Malga Cadino This itinerary takes its move from Malga Cadino (altitude 1799 meters) along the road from Valle del Caffaro climbs to Passo di Croce Domini. We then walk north, first along a small road that later turns into a path, until you easily reach the Passo della Vacca (2355 meters). From the pass, in a few minutes you reach the Tita Secchi Hut, at 2367 meters above sea level (2 hours from the start). The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes 1.15 hours.
Itinerary 3: from the Tassara Hut in Bazena. This itinerary also starts near the Croce Domini Pass, but on the slope of Val Camonica, in particular from the Tassara Hut in Bazena, at an altitude of 1802 meters. Also in this case we walk north, reaching the Passo di Val Fredda (2338 meters). A long and restful crossing along the opposite side leads subsequently to the Passo della Vacca (2355 meters) and finally to the not far Tita Secchi Hut, at 2367 meters above sea level (2 hours) 1.5 from the start). The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes 1.30 hours.

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.
