Snow-covered Giants' Cauldrons!

The Marmitte dei Giganti of Valzurio, in the province of Bergamo, are spectacular natural basins carved out by the Ogna stream. These geological formations were created thanks to river erosion in areas once covered by glaciers. The hike to reach them is fascinating and also suitable for children, with a difference in altitude of about 300 meters and a travel time of 1 hour and 45 minutes - 2 hours. The most characteristic trail is the CAI 340, which follows the Ogna stream through the woods. A shorter alternative is the dirt road that starts from the car park in Spinelli. Along the way you will come across the Baite del Möschel and the suggestive Buco del Freddo, a stone construction used in the past to preserve fresh products. Once you arrive at the Marmitte, you can admire the crystalline water flowing between the rocks, creating a truly unique landscape

Many fords to cross to follow the path from one side to the other. There had been some early snowfall, the path in some very few sections is not identifiable at first sight. (November 2024)

Stunning natural pools of crystal clear water. Evocative and refreshing environment. They deserve an easy and very pleasant walk through the beautiful Valzurio (Valle Azzurra).

There is a new Pradella eBike charging station

At the car park, you go for a stretch on the old road with a spectacular view of the gorge

Breathtaking panorama overlooking the gorge. Stupendous!

Wonderful formations created by nature over time. There are three basins with as many small waterfalls. The place is easy to reach. Suggestive and in hot summers (like this one, 07/20/2023) it offers a cool place to immerse yourself in nature. Needless to say, the crystal clear water
