ポンテサンピエトロの天然記念物・トップ18

great satisfaction to get there by bike. consider that there is some portage.

Unique 360° panorama. The Alpine arc and the Apennines as well as all the peaks of the Bergamo valleys.

Perhaps in front of this imposing small sacred monument, which the hiker encounters here in the form of a summit cross, a few short sentences from Pope Francis are of interest (address of April 5, 2024): "Feel called (...) to bring into the Church and into the world a little of that immense love that compelled Jesus to die on the cross for us. May the familiar closeness to Him make you, as it was with Francis [of Assisi], ever more humble, united, joyful and essential, in love for the cross and in attention to the poor, witnesses of peace and prophets of hope in this time of ours, which has so much difficulty in recognizing the presence of the Lord." (Pope Francis)

At 895 meters, the peak of Monte Ubione is one of the most famous and popular among hikers in the Bergamo Prealps. From here you can enjoy splendid views of the Imagna Valley and the Brembana Valley.

Wonderful natural oasis. It is a marshy area, rich in river vegetation and very rich in fauna, ranging from amphibians, to dragonflies to grebes, herons, woodpeckers etc. Unfortunately, the Louisiana red crayfish is also present, which as the name suggests is an invasive species. Correct behavior is recommended, do not scare the animals, be careful where you walk so as not to step on amphibians, do not leave waste, no noise etc. However, there are information signs with the rules to follow

Path that leads to the top of Canto Alto with a cross without any particular problems, suitable for anyone, the view from up here repays the effort made

Take-off point for paragliding enthusiasts

I've been there many times seeing how easy it is to get there. Steep but short path from the parking lot of the former Pighet restaurant. Nice simple walk from Maresana or a training and tiring climb from Ranica.
