The Sanguigno Valley is one of the wildest and most fascinating valleys in the Bergamo Orobie mountains, located above Valgoglio (BG). Known as the "valley of water" for its abundance of waterfalls, pools, and peat bogs, it is considered the oasis with the highest biodiversity in the Orobie Park.

🌿 Main features
Unique biodiversity: the valley is home to rare habitats such as extensive peat bogs, rhododendrons, pine forests, and endemic plant species.

Origin of the name: "Sanguigno" comes from the reddish hues the vegetation takes on in autumn, making the landscape particularly evocative.

Water is the protagonist: the Sanguigno stream cascades down, forming waterfalls and natural pools of green and blue hues.

Wild environment: shady forests, bright meadows, crystal-clear lakes, and panoramic ridges create a varied and pristine landscape.

🚶‍♂️ Excursions
Access: Start from Valgoglio (929 m), reaching the Aviasco power plant (965 m) where you can leave your car (ticket required).

Classic route: The trail runs alongside the stream and leads to the Gianpace Refuge (1330 m), a refreshment point and waterfall observation point.

Duration: Approximately 1.5–2 hours of walking, with moderate elevation gain.

Alternatives: From Novazza, you can follow trail 232A, which passes through woods and pastures to the refuge.

✨ Why visit it
Unspoiled nature: The valley is largely untouched, ideal for those seeking silence and authenticity.

Photography and relaxation: The waterfalls and meadows offer spectacular views and picnic spots.

Seasons: In spring, it is lush and green, in autumn it turns red and orange, and in summer, it remains cool thanks to the stream.
