particular and evocative route

Beautiful, very welcoming refuge. Thanks to the volunteers who keep it open.

“Mary is indeed our sister, as Saint Ambrose says. She led a life very similar to ours. It is, of course, beautiful to venerate Mary as the Virgin and Mother of God, conceived immaculately and assumed into Heaven; but she is also the Madonna of plates, brooms, and cooking pots…” With the motif of the broom, Albino Luciani (Pope John Paul I) perhaps echoes a thought of his predecessor as Bishop of Rome, Giuseppe Roncalli (Pope John XXIII), who is said to have remarked: “One can become a saint with a shepherd’s staff in one’s hand, but just as easily with a broom.”

The Chitò bridge connects the V.Imagna state road to the Chitò cycle path that leads to Clanezzo.

Impressive bridge with a notable height on the valley floor where the Imagna stream flows. Among other things, it is a passage point on the Imagna valley cycle path coming from Clanezzo.

The Canto Alto Refuge is located just below the summit of Monte Canto Alto (1,146 m), a mountain in the Bergamo Prealps that separates the Brembana Valley from the Seriana Valley, north of Bergamo. Refuge characteristics: Altitude: 1,033 m Management: Associazione Alpini di Sorisole Services: Safe shelter, warm welcome and traditional cuisine with polenta, local cured meats and cheeses Location: Panoramic terrace overlooking the city of Bergamo and the Parco dei Colli How to get there: The refuge is accessible from several paths: From Sorisole: Circular route that passes by the summit and then descends to the refuge From Monte di Nese: Path that crosses woods and meadows, with a moderate climb From Maresana: Longer but panoramic itinerary, with views of the surrounding mountains The metal cross on the summit of Canto Alto, 32 meters high, is a landmark visible from Bergamo. If you are looking for a hike immersed in nature with a welcoming refuge, this is a perfect destination! 🏔️🔥🍽️

Suitable clothing and good training are recommended, but the paths are wide and accessible to most people.

https://sites.google.com/view/rifugioalpinicantoalto On May 25, 2018, the Sorisole Alpine Group called together the various associations in the area, including the other Alpine groups of Petosino and Azzonica, to find a solution to the management of the Canto Alto Refuge, which until then had been managed by their “veci alpini”. A “PROMOTING COMMITTEE” was formed which, together with the Sorisole Alpine Group, presented the idea of the association to the public on September 14, 2018. More than 100 people from Sorisole and neighboring towns were present at the meeting. The first memberships were collected and on October 12, 2018, the “Amici del Canto Alto” association was officially born, whose bond with the Alpini is indissoluble. Article 1 of the Association's statute in fact states: "... the association called "Amici del Canto Alto", territorial structure of the A.N.A. Alpine Group of Sorisole, Bergamo Section, of which it is a full member... The association is dependent and subordinate to the Alpine Group of Sorisole, A.N.A. Bergamo section..." On December 8, 2018, the Refuge reopens with the new management by the Association Amici del Canto Alto
