July 7, 2023,Da Gandellino a Rifugio Mirtillo via lago Spigorel.

A four seasons excursion and each season deserves as much as the others. Normally, for me the final destination is the Spigorel lake. Starting from Tezzi Alti (Gandellino) you cross Val Sedornia, a beautiful valley that …

Val Sedornia is splendid as always, even more so today, a sunny and clear day which made the Sedornia stream, Spigorel lake, the mountain pastures, the near and distant peaks even more spectacular. Climb from Tezzi Alti di Gandellino with CAI path 309 up to the intersection with the Central-Eastern Orobie path followed almost up to the Mirtillo refuge for …
