알메노 산 바르톨로메오‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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)

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

Unfortunately only one and a half beech trees remain: https://www.facebook.com/groups/664394836956076/permalink/8044207305641422/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

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.

Starting from the Ex pighet car park it is a short walk of 10 minutes maximum 15. The view is worth it, there are picnic tables nearby.

Classic destination for those who don't want to travel too many kilometers by car from Bergamo. Canto Alto is easily accessible and from the cross you overlook a beautiful panorama. The route is not difficult but in summer you encounter numerous insects!
