no specific equipment is needed, the best time is between 10 and 14, which is the warmest hours as it always remains in the shade.

Buco della Carolina is a narrow crack in the rock located on Mount Cornagera, above Aviatico, in the Bergamo Prealps. This natural passage is part of a fascinating hiking trail that crosses the Cornagera Labyrinth, characterized by pinnacles and vertical walls2.

Main features:
A natural canyon: Buco della Carolina is a long and narrow crack in the rock that progressively narrows until it emerges on the other side.

Hiking trail: It can be reached by following the CAI 537 trail, which connects Cornagera to Mount Poieto.

History and legend: During the Second World War, Cornagera was a refuge for partisans and young soldiers on the run.

Unique experience: Crossing Buco della Carolina is an exciting adventure, especially for those who love paths among rocks.

If you want to explore it, you can start from Aviatico and follow the trail that passes through the Cornagera Labyrinth.
