The Sentiero delle Orobie Orientali originally started from Valcanale and reached the Alpe Corte refuge after a short walk. In this collection I propose the circular variant that starts from the center of Ardesio and gradually immerses itself in the mountain environment.



From the town hall you go down

From the Alpe Corte refuge, take the path which is initially flat through pastures and then begins to climb in hairpin bends up to the Corte di Mezzo hut and, with a steeper stretch, towards the Corte Alta hut. From here, in about half an hour you reach the Laghi Gemelli pass at an altitude of 2,139

From the Laghi Gemelli refuge, go down towards Lake Casere, pass over a small bridge and take the path that goes up to Lake Marcio until you reach the dam.

This itinerary is a little more challenging than the other stages as you encounter some exposed stretches of path where there are ropes and chains. Here, even late in the season, it is possible to find snow.

The refuge is located near the sources of the Serio river, which five times a year offer the spectacle of the Serio waterfalls

From the Curò refuge, take the mule track that descends to Valbondione and, once you have passed the section dug into the rock face, continue up to the first bend where you keep left at the sign and, advancing along a path halfway up the slopes of the Cimone and Pomnolo mountains , you find yourself

This stage is the last stage of the Eastern Orobie Path. It takes place almost exclusively downhill, taking you back to Ardesio, at the beginning of the route, where it all began, thus completing the circular route.



From the Albani refuge the path goes up, shortly reaches the Scagne pass and begins to
