マロンノの湖・トップ20

The Laghetti delle Valli (Valley Lakes) are an enchanting corner of the Bergamo Orobie mountains, located above Schilpario in the Scalve Valley. These small alpine lakes, hidden among pastures and rocks, offer a setting of rare beauty and tranquility, perfect for hikers seeking silence and authentic landscapes. The hike begins in Santa Elisabetta, just outside the center of Schilpario, where you join CAI trail 415. The route initially winds through the forest, among fir and larch trees, gaining altitude with regular switchbacks. After passing the Roccolo di Busmino and the Monte Busma mountain pasture, it turns west towards Monte Gaffione. Here, in a basin between the peaks, the valley opens up that hosts the Laghetti delle Valli, at approximately 1,979 meters above sea level. The landscape is alpine and wild: the small lakes, of glacial origin, are surrounded by flowering pastures, rhododendrons, and rocks smoothed by time. The clear waters reflect the sky and mountains, creating a suspended, almost magical atmosphere. Just above the largest lake, there is a curious "sword in the stone," installed as a symbolic attraction, adding a fairytale touch to the hike. The trail then continues towards the Vivione Pass, making it ideal for a full-day trek. The difficulty is classified as hiking (E), with an elevation gain of approximately 870 meters and a total length of approximately 15 km, round-trip. The Laghetti delle Valli are a perfect place for those who love the true mountains, the kind conquered step by step, offering simple yet profound emotions. A hike here is a journey into the quiet, beauty, and history of a valley that has managed to preserve its authentic spirit.

Lake Valbona, located near Schilpario in the Scalve Valley, is one of the most fascinating and little-known places in the Bergamo Orobie mountains. Nestled in a green valley between the mountains, this small body of water offers an atmosphere of absolute tranquility, ideal for those seeking an excursion away from mass tourism and close to pristine nature.

Typical alpine lake of glacial origin, located at 2060m in the Valbona Valley, from which it takes its name. It can be reached starting from the Passo del Vivione and following the path that goes up alongside the Valbona Torrent and its lower waterfall. Once you reach the Malga Valbona, you go up further and you can reach it in a few minutes.

Beautiful refuge immersed in nature. Impossible not to stop after the hard climb pedaled😉

Leckeres Essen. Auch für eine Übernachtung geeignet wenn das Gemeinschaftsbad nicht stört.

Very scenic place and easy to reach

Typical Alpine lake of modest size but with clear water that reflects the colors of the surrounding mountains. Excellent place to take a break and cool off (in the summer). Given the widespread presence of water, the area is rich in insects (including dragonflies) and amphibians.
