ピアッツァトッレの峡谷・トップ11

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.

It's a lot of fun and easier than it looks. Just be a little more careful. :)

be careful, it is not to be underestimated

A gully leading to the Benigni refuge. The crossing is very steep, but easy if you're sure-footed. In some places, there are CAI signs indicating which rocks to cross. I recommend using your hands a lot when ascending, and if you're unsure, sitting down when descending. If necessary, you can take variant 108A to reach the refuge.

The bridge is not the newest anymore, but you can walk across it and it is not closed. However, I wouldn't stand on it with a whole bus tour group and rock back and forth, it doesn't look that stable 😳😬😉

Seeing it from afar can be a bit scary, but getting closer you realize that it is much more feasible than it seems. There are many rather technical passages but by following the signs you can get around the major difficulties and get to the top more or less easily.

Wonderful area nestled between the rocky peaks of the surrounding peaks, in particular the Arera and the Corna Piana. The area is mainly rocky, easy to reach even if it requires a minimum of training. The most fascinating aspect is the landscape, you find yourself in a very natural and at times wild environment, where you also have to pay attention to small ravines which are often not immediately visible but equally dangerous! Especially in the presence of snow which masks them further.
