カレンノの峠・トップ20

We were there on Sunday 11th January and we found snow which made it more beautiful

A legendary climb in the Bergamo valleys.

Mount Resegone, also known as Mount Serrada, is a mountain in the Orobie Prealps, 1,875 meters high. It is located on the border between the provinces of Bergamo and Lecco, and is famous for its serrated profile, which resembles the blade of a saw—hence the name "Resegone". Main characteristics: Main peaks: Punta Cermenati, Punta Stoppani, Punta Manzoni, il Dente, Cima Pozzi, Pizzo Daina and Torre di Valnegra. Geology: Composed mainly of dolomite, a sedimentary rock dating back to the Upper Triassic. Hiking trails: Path no. 1 is the most popular route to reach the summit, starting from Lecco and arriving at the Rifugio Azzoni, located just below the summit. Shelters: The Rifugio Luigi Azzoni, near the summit, is a reference point for hikers. Curiosity: The Resegone is mentioned by Alessandro Manzoni in The Betrothed, where it is described for its characteristic shape

Summit arrival point of the climb from Morterone and pass with the Imagna valley. The historic path that connects with Brumano passed through here. If you climb from Morterone this is where your efforts end.

The Perus lake is located at the pass of the same name (1300 m) which connects the San Martino Valley and the Imagna Valley. The name is in Bergamo dialect and means "hole", indicating a rather narrow passage. We talked about it during the gravel tour around Resegone in this article: https://outdoortest.it/resegone-360-con-la-bici-gravel/

The Palio Pass connects the Imagna valley with Valsassina. The pass is not very high, but offers a magnificent view of Resegone, Grigne and Zuccone Campelli. We talked about the gravel tour around Resegone here: https://outdoortest.it/resegone-360-con-la-bici-gravel/

Ascent but above all descent to be done very carefully.

The description of Alessandro's journey is perfect. I confirm everything, not difficult but not for everyone. However varied and fun as well as scenic.
